RIP, Puck! T___T

When my sorority tank got Ich, I treated them all with Jungle Ich Tabs in a hospital. One of the girls got really lethargic and lost a lot of the color on her fins (like all the color had been rubbed off... not just paleness), so I threw them all back in their own tank. She then swam around frantically, smashed against the wall and nose-dived into the marbles where she died too. Sound familiar?? This is too weird... it has to have been something else underlying that you couldn't see. That's what I've come to terms with about the two girls that I lost to the Ich epidemic.

Fin rot definitely did not kill your fish. I honestly don't know what it is or what it could be... and I probably never will. Just know that you ARE a good mommy and you did all you could for the little one. *hugs*

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My betta, Apollo has fin and tail rot. He had been getting better until two days ago when the part of his tail that was coming back suddenly fell off and more of the tail went besides that and last night after seeing how he was doing an hour before I went to check him again and he lost a major chunk of his bottom fin--it is in ribbons and I see bits falling off of him when he swims around. I think this is like a rebound thing where the rebound is worse than the beginning of the disease. I am really devastated because I have been changing his gallon tank every three days and using aquarium salt besides and even melafix in small doses.
Your fish could have died of fin rot. It was probably parts of him that were already rotted that was merking up the water. It does spread to their bodies.

So sorry about your loss. I think I will be having the same thing happen to Apollo here. Bummers!!!!!
