BETTA CPR

[daudy_dojo]

if your betta dies on you slowly and gently rub his on the side of his tank velvet black out and stopped breathing this morning but now he is back to life OMG!!! im not that sure if it will work 100% of the time but it worked at the store and it worked at home! all i did was pick him up in my hand and rubbed his lil body up against the glass (not apply to much pressure and inside the tank or jar) and he started breathing again crazy eh?



EDIT: "slowly and gently rub HIM*** on the side of his tank"

Very cool! Good job.

thank you... but see here is a caution when your doing it be very VERY gently so that if it works they will not be bruised! and monitor them for atleast 3 or 4 days cause the betta at work that i got shipped in dieing, when i brought him back he kinda struggled and still is but he will be fine...


OH YEA ANOTHER THING

do you know how much water a betta is shippped in??? not even an inch of water! and they are in tightly sealed in a bag no bigger than a 2yrolds fist no wonder that boy almost died he was tired of being trapped!

in regards to your betta stoping breathing....um.... ..ok

in regards to your betta being shipping in so little water...

I've had numerous (like 8 ) betta's shipped from overseas and several (like5)shipped to me from Wuv and none have been in that little of water..all have had atleast a quarter to a half a bag full of water in them. They ship them in so little of water so they aren't shaken to death on the trip.

Usually the ones shipped inless are being shipped in mass quanity to retail stores...if your fish was shipped like that..you should let us know who did it so we can corect that.
