Ugh. I'm so upset. 
This has been a really bad week to start with, but I'm having many fish troubles too. My beautiful delta marble who I just recently posted pics of, and who I ADORE already, has been very sick lately. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him... one day he was swimming around, bubble nesting, and brightly colored, the next day he was laying on his side heaving, pale.... 
He's been like that for about 3 days. But when I checked on him today before feeding him, I found he had velvet! I was sure glad to figure out what was wrong...
Then... the worst part.
I came upstairs a good few hours later to turn off my lights, and he wasn't in his tank. He's in one of the gallon Aquaviews from Walmart, and if you know what they look like, there is a teeny tiny hole in the top. Somehow this sick and lethargic fish jumped out of it.
I still don't know how. Then I couldn't find him anywhere!!! The tank is on my desk, and he flopped a good 2 feet off the desk somehow, and then 3 feet back under the desk onto the carpet. I was positive he was dead, dried to a crisp (even into a curl) and covered in crap. However, I put him in his tank and he's breathing. 
So he's currently in a jar with a lowered water level, in a heated tank, in betta soup. I hope he makes it, he's pretty messed up.
