Heres the thing...
all tanks have perfect water, temps fine!

whats going on or is it due too bad luck?

Sorry I can't be of any help. It seems like a real mystery as to why you are losing so many at once. Fingers crossed your new boy makes it

Clutching at straws here.......has anything been sprayed in the room that may have got into the tank?

 

[hollyp0p]

what have symptoms been in any/all of your bettas so far??

 

[Jaded12]

Any chance a net or something was used on a sick fish and then used on all of the others during water changes or something?

 

[jourdy288]

How large are their tanks?

 

[K.J.]

Food gone bad? bloat, dropsy?

 

[modaz]

have a look around the eyes, gills, and the mouth, also look just under the dorsal fin, base of tail and the area on the back between the dorsal and base of tail, is there any light colouring of the scales at all in these areas

 

[nakomis90]

Sorry guy i got disconected!

well the gold HMPK is still alive...
no net are used in diff tanks!
theres diff symptoms too each fish!
the gold HMPK is at the bottom had several water changes today!
and still no improvement...

could this be breeders bad luck?
ive heard of some people losing 8 or so fish males and there females being fine....
then the males stop dieng...
he has IAL, a 10 gall tank 3/4 full... the temp is 82,


awww im going spare!
help

 

[modaz]

list the sypmtoms as many illnesses have several symptoms and there may well be a link in there somewhere.
its not common for all males to get ill without a reason so the symptoms are very important to help out

 

[Amunet]

Sounds like something has cross contaminated maybe.
Do you use the sme bucket or whatever for all of your tanks? Or did you perhaps stick your hand into one tank, and then another without washing your hands?

It's odd that they would all die so suddenly and close to one another?

Have you tryed medicating the tank the sick one is in?

 

[modaz]

are these males in a divided tank? just wondered as if they are i think i may have the cause of it but still waiting for a reply on the symptoms, oh and how long has this been happening for?
