mystery betta deaths

[mephastophilis]

It's a bit of a long story. I had one male betta in my tank with 4 neon tetras. I then bought 4 lamp eye tetras and stupidly didn't quarentine them. All the lamp eyes died with no physical marks. Then one of my previously extremely healthy tetras died, and then my beautiful male betta barny died with his eyes glazed. I also had a female betta in the same tank but separated, i moved her straight away to a different tank and she seemed perfectly fine, then two days later she died with the same glazed over eyes. I was so upset because ahe was GORGEOUS and had loads of character, she always seemed so fit and healthy. What was wrong with them? If anyone can help me out i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Ruth.

Sorry, i am afraid i cant help much. However, i have had this problem. My 65 gallon, at one point in time, became a death tank. The fishes looked healthy one second, dead the next. I had no idea what to do. I even considered giving up the hobby. Then i posted here and tonnes of guys helped me out. Turns out it was a bacterial infection, triggered by the recent warm temperatures.

Maybe you have the same thing, could you tell us your tank parameters, like ammonia, nitrite, nitrate as well as the temperature. You seem very anxious, dont worry, give it time, someone who knows what to do will post when he/she comes along.

Keep strong dude

Maybe something you didn't know you had to do, like Cycling your tank, de-chlorinating your water, things like that? I'm sorry to hear of your bad luck, hope you recover soon
