My 2 bettas that had the bacterial infection passed away :-( I'm so sad :sad:

I was treating the tank with waterlife Myxazin but ran out so I did a 50% water change and waited 48 hour which was stated on the bottle and started treating with JBL general disifectant instead. By this time one of the bettas had already died :rip: and the other actually was very active and I thought he was going to be just fine. :/ I treated the tank with one dose of the JBL medication and it said if after 4 days the fish is still sick do another treatment. The betta still had some white around his eye so I treated with a second dose yesterday after their feed of bloodworms. By this morning the betta looked sluggish very pale and was in the back of the tank his tummy was swollen too :dunno: He was just kind of drifting so I thought maybe it was the medication and did a 50% water change but it was too late and he died a few hours ago :rip: :byebye:

Maybe it was too much at once?? What could I of done different? :dunno: Both the other 2 Bettas living in the same tank are fine and very healthy.

I am thinking maybe the frozen bloodworms and frozen mosquito larvae could be causing them problems?? :unsure: :(
 
I really am sorry to hear about you loss. One of my Betta's is battling for his life right now too. I usually have more conforting things so say, but at risk of facing loss, all those quiant things I usually say now seem menaingless. Worse time of year for this kind of thing to happen.

What can we do? We do our best. :dunno:
 
I'm so sorry Elisabeth. :-( Don't beat yourself up over it.

I can't think of anything you did wrong. :nod:
 
Sorry to hear about your two bettas. If you are in USA, I will send you two of my bettas babies for free. Here are the babies! Aren't they are cute? Anyway, cheers... you have done your job.
