I got home from work today to find the silicon holding my internal filter to the side of my had come loose and my Betta had managed to get stuck behind the filter and die. :angry:

He was my first tropical fish, and i had named him Russell after the South Park episode with Russell Crowe fighting round the world cos he likes to fight :lol:

He has been living in my community tank for a while after i put him in there one day while i cleaned his tank, when it came time to get him out he didn't want to be caught. I spent the next hour trying to catch him again before i gave up and moved all my supposedly hard to catch shrimp into what was his tank in about half an hour. As soon as I sat down he swam out from behind the wood and started strutting up and down the full length of the tank. He loved it in there and would always hide if he saw me with a net in my hand.

I don't think I will replace him with another betta, i'm going to find a fish better suited to a community to replace him with.

Thanks for listening :good:

awww RIP lil' guy...shame you dont want another fighter...

Never say never, I did love his personality but i think it would be better for a betta if i could keep one in their own tank and there isn't room in the flat for another tank.
 
ever think about trying to gey a female? most of the time,, but not always, every fish is different but most of the time a female will get alomg with other tank mates
