Last night my purple butterfly I got about 5 days ago was jumping and popping the lid on his tank. I lowered the water level about and inch and he continued to hit the lid on his tank. Woke up this morning and he was dead as a doornail.

Went in to check on the sick female.... dead as a doornail.



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh no sorry to hear about that auratus what did hte sick female die from?

 

[Auratus]

I don't know.

Thought she had fin rott but then her body turned white last night and she was dead this morning.

 

[Grams]

wow auratas youve had alot of bettas dieing recently you must have a betta killer learking in your house. j/k sorry to hear from that i know how you feel mine also jumped.

 

[White Whale]

Is your room cold?

 

[Auratus]

The room isn't cold. They all have lights on them too. Out of 17 bettas two died. I don't think that's a LOT but it's still very sad. I've had a LOT of problems but none have died from it until today.

It's all happened within the last two weeks. Almost every betta has something wrong. I think I'm going to loose my girl in the 29 gallon by tonight or tomorrow. Every betta I treated with melafix is dead or dieing.

I can't find bettamax anywhere. I don't know what to do. Here is the thing though. There are two bettas that I skipped a water change on because I felt they didn't need it. I changed everyone else. Those two that I didn't change are the two that are still healthy... which is why I think there is something wrong with the water or the filter system my mom bought about (ding ding ding) two weeks ago.

Edit: My betta didn't jump. He was dead in his bowl but he was trying to jump last night. He was the only betta I tried the live plant bulbs on so far. I doubt that would do anything but he was healthy and active the night before. Unless he killed himself banging on the lid, I don't know what killed him.

Hi Auratus

I'm sorry to learn of your loss. Hope you get your water problem resolved soon.

 

[Auratus]

Alright... now it's -3.

Lost the female in the 29 like I thought I would. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGG. This is like a record in betta loss. 3 in one day?!!?!?

Oh, and to clear it up for all the people who have been p.m.ing me... I have not lost 7 bettas in a month, I have not lost 5 bettas in a month. I lost 3 today! Today is the first day of betta loss. Ok?

 

[Synastic]

Oh, what a bust, so sorry to hear that news Jen . I have lost 3 betta over 1 week too. Also, I have stopped using any type of med's I use bettamax. Everytime I use bettamax the bettas seem to get worse or die quicker . I dunno whats up with bettas dying .

 

[wuvmybetta]

I'm sorry Auratus Throw away the melafix, or at least stop using it on the bettas for now

 

[wrs]
