One Of My Girls Is Sick

[AJGray]

well i think she is

she is eating fine is sort of swimming about but

she is pretty much just sittin in the sand and her breathing is very slow shes has lost a little bit of her colour

and she looks just fed up really

A bit of Betta spa might perk her up if she's not showing any signs of illness

Its not her water is it? it could be too cold, or it could be the condition of it. Sometimes half water change and temp. up a bit does the trick.

tried everything

we been treating tank with meds coz we had to put some new fish straight in

just come in from being out and lost 2 guppies (that we got yesterday) to a mystery illness two although i was expecting titch gone more than any other fish

i just checked on her and her scales are out which made me think dropsy maybes but we are treating tank for pretty much everything so i thought this would of started curing

 

[AJGray]

on closer inspection it looks like some thing has eaten her flapping wings

so i think instead of prolonging a hurtfull life we shall take it nicely as we can

 

[AJGray]

she died without our assistance... very gutted

 

[Xuchilbara]

I'm sorry she had to die. But what does "very gutted" mean?
