one of my new bettas is sick! kegan (the red crowntail) is all clamped up today and has fungus. this is exactly how i lost my first one
he was in a split 10 gallon with Arwyn, im so scared that he is going to get it too now!!
i put kegan in a 3 gallon and have treated him (fresh water, stress coat, garlic, and mardel for the fungus. arwyn looks fine so far. i will be devastated if i loose him

Lucy

I'm so sorry coffebean.
Sening fishy prayers your way.

coffeebean

im kicking myself for buying them from those filthy cups.

Oh no hope he gets better

coffeebean

unfortunately, he is looking pretty bad. i put some pennywort floating for him to rest on. he is kind of half on his side on it, mouth at the surface, just....uugh.

I'm sorry It's so awful to watch them suffer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Borisbbadd

Hope it turns out well for you.

Lucy

Don't kick yourself for bringing home a cup baby. They deserve a warm home with someone who loves them.
Sometimes it's just for a little while, as heart breaking as that is.

coffeebean

he did. he totally deserved it. he is such a nice fish!

whisper

So sorry to hear about your fishy but you're a good mommy and have treated and done all you can for him. Be proud of yourself for that. Good luck.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

coffeebean

well, he didnt make it through the night.


question now. he was sharing a tank with another betta and two cory cats. the other betta looks fine. should i treat the tank for fungus as a precaution?

matt6765

Oh no sorry for you loss

Shawnie

Phinny12

I don't know if I would use any chemical treatment without seeing signs of infection of the other Bettas...but I could be wrong..
I am so sorry for your loss

Although his time with you was short lived, atleast he didn't die in those quarter gallon cups. I'm sure he died happy. RIP Kegan.

rebeccmh

Aw, I'm so sorry he didn't make it.

antbfc

so sad. the time he spent with you would have been his best

That sucks coffeebean.

I dont know what kind of tanks you have or how much room you have......
but if you have room for cichlids since you are also in Winnipeg I will give you some to replace the fish you lost.

Here is what I can give you if you have the room
I have four 3" Paratheraps Synspilus, if you want a fish that will interact with you, but does get big they are cool. Would be a cool single fish to keep.
I have one 3" Paratilapia Polleni, I believe female.
And some Neetroplus Nematopus fry under 1/2". these shouldn't get above 5" max.

coffeebean

very kind of you brian. i dont have cichlids and wouldnt have the space for one at this time. very generous offer though. thank you

Martinismommy

coffeebean

It's hard when they leave us so soon...

Time

So sorry I would have gotten a cup betta too.
The cups aren't quarter gallon and I usually see them filled up less than half. They can't even move. So sad.

coffeebean

the cup he came out of was a tiny plastic dixie cup. with an inch and a half of water. disgusting.

Oh. My size estimates are ALWAYS off.
