Goodbye little Zeus

Tonight I came home to find Zeus dead. He had been looking bad for a while ever since he came down with a severe case of finrot a few months ago. It never healed even though I treated it several times. He then started developing little tumors or bumps around his head. He had trouble swimming the last few days, and I guess today his time was up. He was such a good fishie with such a fiesty attitude. Swim free in betta heaven Zeus, I'll miss you!

Thanks you guys I feel like my bettas are jinxed. I try to take such good care of them, but in the last 2 months I have lost 5 of my little boys I am trying not to get discouraged. Right now I am in the process of trying to get rid of all of my divided tanks so that my fish cannot spread disease and bacteria to eachother. I feel like the divided tanks really contributed to my losses (most of the fish that died were infected by another betta sharing the divided tank with them). Oh well, you live and you learn I guess. Hopefully things will turn around and I will start having better luck. I am down to 5 boys, and hopefully I can keep them alive and healthy.

Trust me I have lost 11 Betta this year, and it makes ya feel like poop when you can save them.
I am only keeping them in divided tanks if they are females. I too noticed with males especially they get sick much easier. It is those unnatural fancy fins I swear.
