Well I just about broke down- I woke up the other morning to find my brand new lil Snapdragon coated with fluff and perfectly still at the bottom of his tank. I'd had him for just two and a half weeks!
I've lost bettas to fungus before but never on such short notice AFTER I'd had them home for a while. I never even had the chance to dose him or anything- fine one day, gone the next. My fault for being such a sucker for the last runty little VT in the pet store, I guess, but he actually did look very healthy and I wasn't looking for a breeder atm, just a pet, so he seemed perfect. Lots of snap to him- hence the name
I'm getting so I'm almost ready to switch species altogether- a friend had her convict cichlids spawn a couple months ago, and I'm thinking of switching over. I love all my bettas but I think I'm getting so attached I might do well with a change for a bit!
Has anybody here "crossed over" to other fish and then come back to bettas later on? Or has anybody branched out to cichlids or something else but still kept up the betta habit too? I'd be interested to hear how it worked out.
