Betta jumped out

[FishEnthusiast]

I am sorry to hear she didn't make it. I had a girl jump, I was lucky to find her wrapped in a towel that was below the tank. She survived for a while, but never ate from that day forward. It hurts when you can't save them.

Well has anyone had a betta that jumped and survived?

yeah my first 2 bettas jumped and both died... The first one Ben jumped while i was on a 3 day vacation... and the 2nd one Jeli jumped and i found him an hour later.... thought he was dead but he wiggled when i picked him up with chopsticks. Dropped him back in the bowl and he lazily glided thrugh the water (wouldn't really call it swimming). The next day he was floating

Sorry about your loss

Thanks everyone. I really thought she was dead when I found her but decided to put her in just to see. And suddenly she started moving. But too bad she died.

I bet that Oscar of yours was planning his little trip to the tiger barb tank for days! Sorry about your moss barb but you gotta admit, the Oscar sure did earn that snack!

I'm sorry to hear that the betta died though. I only had one jumper(Dumbass) he jumped twice and I was there both times so he was not out of the water for more than a few seconds. The second time he was jumping to grab some food out of my fingers and missed!
