Betta Dying

[EllRog]

I'm stumped, every suggestion seems to not be the problem. I thought process of elimination would be pretty quick. When did she last eat?

 

[cupofjoel]

I hear ya. Just trying to think out every possibility

ANd I appreciate it. This community rocks!

Okay, she back to being motionless at the bottom of the tank and now is starting to tilt sideways.

 

[Naughts]

Okay, good news and bad news.

She's moving around now and because of that I can see her bottom fins and tail fin is ragged and eroded more than yesterday.

Did you see the redness? If this is bacterial you have a very small window to get the medication started.
You are rightly trying to diagnose before treating but you have to balance the risk. An aggressive infection can kill in three days.

Is she still alive..?

I want to thank everyone for being so supportive and awesome.

Jasmine, our female betta is doing better. She's swimming around more and approaching me when I walk up to her. Kids are happy to see her swimming around the tank. She'll take a break every now and then to rest, but she's active and looks like will recover. I began treatment for bacterial infection yesterday and she'll be on it for 7 days.

Again thank you all! So glad I didn't put her out

Is she still alive..?

Yes she is!

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Very very happy for you!

Sorry for condemning her so fast... she looked pretty bad.

So glad she’s better.

Not at all. She was really bad and isn't out of the woods yet. Thanks for your help!

Okay, bad news. I woke up and found Jasmine dead. She was doing so well, but something happened at night. We did a goodbye ceremony for her and the kids are a bit sad right now.

 

[Naughts]

Sorry.

 

[JuiceBox52]

oh no.

 

[cupofjoel]

So, now that I have an empty tank do I need to clean it, break it down completely. I have a small fish in my big tank that needs more time to grow out since. Suggestions, advice?

So sorry
