I spoke too soon....

The past few days BB wouldn't eat. Yesterday she was very thin and pale. I just checked in on her again, and she is pineconing. Ummm? How this happen all of a sudden...she was fine since I got her. See I have no luck with cup betta.
She has been in the kitchen in her 3g wave tank...she isn't bigger than an inch from head to tail. Remember Lila Belle who I got at the same time (who jumped tank)she was much bigger than BB. Myabe she was sick when I got her and it took this long to take over, but it's not looking good for her at all. A skinny fish pine coning is not good.
Send good vibes for her. My last veil tail baby.

Thanks guys.
I hope I have been paying enough attention to her. The babies have been taking up a lot of my time and attention lately. She was the star for so long, I hope that all the newbies didn't depress her.

Aww, Allie, I'm sorry to hear she's fading. Usually once they pinecone there's not much you can do. I've never been able to keep my store fish healthy for long either.

Well she is gone guys. It was like she waited for me to get up and check in on her...I found her about an hour ago at the bottom of her tank.
RIP BB...you were my special girl Busy Bea.

Thanks guys...I have been misty for the past hour.
I hope Rubin, my CT Walmart cup betta keeps doing well. He still has the big belly, most likely a tumor or cyst. But he is healthy and happy.

I dont know if you have read this poem but I know how it feels to loose a pet . This poem is for all pets other then dogs. I did not want to modify it.


The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called
Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been
Especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows
and hills for all of our special friends so they
can run and play together. There is plenty of
food, water and sunshine, and our friends
are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old
are restored to health and vigour; those who
were hurt or maimed are made whole and
strong again, just as we remember them in
our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops and looks
into the distance. His bright eyes are intent;
His eager body quivers. Suddenly he
begins to run from the group, flying
over the green grass, his legs carrying
him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and
your special friend finally meet, you cling
together in joyous reunion, never to be
parted again. The happy kisses rain upon
your face; your hands again caress the
beloved head, and you look once more
into the trusting eyes of your pet, so
long gone from your life but never
absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together……

Thanks all...I thought it was going to be a long time before I posted about another betta death. It just goes to show you...you never know how long any betta will be with you regardless of whether it was a cup betta or from a breeder. I lost Hera in the breeder tank & Lila jumped tank. Gracie and Blossom better keep their fin butts in good shape. The female betta are doing just as bad as the males were at one point here. Oh my

Its alright. I am looking at getting a new tank and dividing it then putting a male betta (havent decided what type yet) and a female and putting them divided in the tank. Hopefully they will keep each other company.

LOL. as i was typing that post my dad came and looked what i was typing and he said "Sounds like a cool idea Matt". Thats good that he said that because i thought he would say NO!
