Topic: R.I.P Bettas

   My beautiful, beautiful Shoki has gone on.  My husband called him a “junkyard dog” because he was so ferocious .
   He was a fighter to the end, he would rally for a day or 2 & then get bad again, retreating to the bottom of the tank. He finally refused food & was really struggling to get to the surface even though the water was low-I couldn’t stand to see him suffer & gently helped him along.
  He was my favorite-so beautiful & always entertaining, ready to fight anything.
  Thank you, Shoki, for gracing my humble life with your beauty & zest.

Rose - I'm so sorry.  He was a beauty.  Your efforts with him gave me ideas on how to work with my guys - and helped me save 3 of them (though the Blue Marble CT did succumb, it was from asphyxiation, not disease).

My condolences, and hugs.

Thank you Diana. Shoki tried so hard to make it. I'm still crying-he was really special!

We will miss you, DeltaBlue!  You were a sweetheart.

Miller, you were my very first Betta.  In the back of my mind I knew that SBD wasn't cured and that it might flare up, but I thought it was under control.  I will miss you.  I do have PinkFloyd who looks a lot like you, but I'll never forget you.  At least  your pain is gone.

In Memory Of Pink
It broke my heart to watch my valiant Pink battle to live day to day.  One day he'd be better, the next I could tell he wasn't really.  He finally lost his battle with what I believe to have been an intestinal blockage.  Pink was beautiful and curious.  He was one of the prettiest fish I ever had.  At least now he isn't suffering.  I will miss my little friend.  I hope he's swimming with his brothers in the most beautiful lake I can imagine.

Bye Bye, Prince of Pinkness!  I miss you.

Just found my platinum white halfmoon male dead! >.<
He's always been an odd fish, so I didn't really see anything wrong with him. Ugh, this is depressing. I was going to spawn him again.





He was a good papa to his babies!

RIP platinum white girly. lost you a couple days ago
RIP steel blue CT female that I bought 2 weeks ago

I have no idea what is going on with that tank. 4 girls in 2 weeks. 
Took the other 4 girls out and I'll be bleaching that tank.

I'm so sorry - I know how you feel, after losing 4 in a couple of weeks myself.

All I can think to do is start with new tank, new accessories, new heater, new - probably bottled water - and some of the Betta Revive in case there is some 'bug' getting them?

My condolences.

Well I don't think you have to buy all new stuff - just bleach it like you said. 

So sorry about your girls   That really sucks
