Well, I've been on holiday camping (There was enough rain to fill a whole ocean!) for 4 days. When I left Navajo was getting much better. Now, I've come back. Guess what? No, I'm not digging a little fishy grave... (Yet)

He is on his side, at the top of his tank, his belly is SWOLLEN, and his bottom fin is half it's normal size with a red edge! What on earth has happened! I'm so torn... I don't know if it's curable, I've never seen anything like this before! I suspect it's a kind of internal parasite. Oh ****!

Oh Hatchet, I'm so sorry! I know you've been trying to get him healthy. This must be so frustrating.

Sounds like fin rot maybe? Although I'm not sure with the red edge. Poor boy. I hope he gets better soon! I'm sending good fishy healing vibes your way!!

HatchetHaven

Aw man... I lost him in the night. His gills looked like they had been blown up by a balloon... I think he must have had a serious internal infection.

If only his previous owner had not mistreated him so much he would have been a really happy boy!

Oh hatchet, I'm so sorry you lost the little guy.
At least he knew your love and kindness even for such a short time.

RIP Navajo

I think I might try a nano with Nav's old tank, Betta seem to be so problematic to keep at the moment!

Shawnie

im so sorry HH you did your best...his life prior to you was horrible so take credit in his last days of happiness in your care

Unfortunately with Betta sp these days it's hit or miss with the properly bred or the lfs rescues. Betta are so hard to keep for long.
I am so sorry you lost him. We've all been loosing too many betta boys these days.

Oh Hatchet -- I am so sorry to hear of Navajo's passing.

At least he knew he was loved at the end.
