Haven't Been On In Awhile...2 Betta Deaths

[Raechal]

I haven't been to the forum in awhile, but for anyone who remembers, I had a blind betta. His name was Puck.

He jumped from a tiny hole in his 10 gallon near where the filter is and I found him dried up behind my stereo. I put him in a clean bucket of water and added stress coat and a little salt. He wasn't breathing very much and I was really worried. About an hour later his breathing sped up. He swam around a little but then the next day he died. I burried him at the beach.

A week later Puck's tank mate, Deiter, died. He died from dropsy. I could tell he was starting to get dropsy and I treated him with maracyn 1 and 2. He didn't make it.

Angus and Cotton Candy are very healthy though which is a good thing. I just re-did their tanks today. I changed Angus's tank to sand and Cotton Candy's tank to large black river stones. They seem to enjoy their new substrates.

Angus is in a hexagonal tank that holds about 6 or 7 gallons of water. I find him just sitting around the tank looking bored. Is there anything I can add into his tank? I was thinking maybe an african dwarf frog or two? I heard they like to be in groups. Would two be fine in a tank like Angus's?

Cotton Candy is in his own 10 gallon. Any ideas what to put in there?

awww,I'm sorry Raechal, I saw you're getting rid of your big tank, too
I wish I was closer, I'd take it off your hands in a heartbeat.

I burried him at the beach.

Yea, I just don't have the time for such a large tank anymore. I think I'd be happier with my two boys and that's it.

I do have a 55 gallon as well I'm not using...maybe I'll keep that just in case I decide to start a tank again.

I was going to say....be careful because I see you being active on the board, you'll get rid of your tank and be hooked again! TFF's notoriously good at doing that. B)

I am sorry to hear about Puck and Deiter.

I do remember Puck. Deiter too.

Yea, now I'm not so sure of selling it...although I know it would be the best thing to do for my fish.

Atleast I'll have my betta boys.

Maybe if I get bored and have a craving for a new fish...I'll go to walmart or something and pick up a sickly one there.

I sure do miss them. I feel weird only having 2 bettas.

Oh man...being active on the forum again has made me get the urge to buy another betta...maybe even 2 or 3 more.

I don't know what I am going to do when Angus dies. He's probably close to 3 years old now. He's my favorite fish. I'm going to get a tattoo of him for my 18th birthday.
