I had the same thing happen to a danio of mine. he jumped out of a transfer bowl when I was doing tank maintanance and got stuck to a towel. He was alive when I found him and put him back in the water, but he was dry and sticky. he stuck to my fingers and some of his scales came off. He lived for a few hours but didn't make it.

Oh, I'm so sorry that happened to your betta. Many of them are jumpers so a hood would be a good idea.

Clean fresh water, some extra stress coat, garlic guard to help his immune system.
After he's back in the tank and wet, the fuzz from the carpet should come off, it not you can gently pick it off.
Good luck, I hope he recovers

what would be your best guess as to how long she was there? when was the last time you checked on her and she was in the tank?

aww you must have freaked out!! I had a boy that did that too
2-4 weeks of small water changes everyday with some stress coat, garlic guard, and fish protector if you can find them, and he should be good...the important thing is the cleanest water possible...
