For the past 3 days poor Holly has lost her coloring, her tummy has a bump like a tumor(like the rest of the female betta I had to begin with)and she hides from me. Since this morning she has been leaning to the left side laying on the bottom of the tank. She is acting like all my fishies who had tumors.
I don't think she is going to make it.

Allie

I just tried to get her attention and she swam upside down for 1/2 a second. Poor girl

I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope she'll be alright. I'll send some healing thoughts her way. Good luck.

Allie

Thanks, but she really doesn't look right today. I've lost more betta than I care to count. So unfortunately I know the signs all to well.

Lucy

Oh Allie, I'm so sorry Holly is ill. I know you know how best to take care of her, so instead of offering advice I can only offer support from one betta mommy to another.
We're sending good betta thoughts your way.

So sorry to hear. I know that this is a painful time and I do sympathize. My thoughts are with you.

Allie

Thanks you guys. My lil' Chubbetta probably won't be with us by morning.
I knew she was too fat all of the time. I have had her for 8-9 mos now & she was always fat and more fat on her left side. She is the last of my betta I got last fall.

that's the only sad thing about this fishy business...they die...and its sooooo sad to see them suffer. I had to get a bit thicker skin after the first few, cuz I was cryin my eyes out every time one of my fishies died.

Love and hugs to you.....and your baby

Allie I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet baby girl.....I know how hard it is to say goodbye......

My thoughts are with you and Holly tonight.....

Allie

Thanks. It's been just over 2 years since we got into fish. We've kept & lost all sorts of species...but I always seem to get attached to my betta. I feel the worst when one is sick or dying.
Nothing to do with the fact that they are cats in a Betta's body.

Allie

Thanks Karen.

NO!! not our love bug chubbette! im sending lots of betta prayers and well wishes..fight holly girl!

Allie

Aww she's laying on her right side with her little fin flapping slow as if she is waving.

Lonely Angel

Oh Allie, I'm so sorry. She is so lucky to have you for her mom and if she passes now then it will be in a loving home with you to comfort her. You've given her the best life a betta could hope for.

I am so sorry. I don't know what to say in such situation... It is so sad... I will hope for a miracle for Holly.

Martinismommy
