Rip Sapphire <3

[iBetta]

After an attempted spawn yesterday, I was unsure if they spawned or not, so I removed her from the breeding tank as the male was quite aggressive.
I put her back in her home tank and pampered her with brine shrimp - her favourite
I turned the lights off and went to sleep. This morning when I was checking up on her, I saw her tail poking out of the driftwood.
I thought she was just resting, but when she didn't move, or come up for air, I knew something bad has happened.
My poor baby tried to swim through the gap in the driftwood, but got stuck. She couldn't have come up for air, so she passed away.
She was a gorgeous Betta, my first female actually.. I am so sad, but hopefully in a few days I will have baby Betta's hanging out the bubble nest, and she will live on through her babies

RIP Sapphire

Sorry to hear that i always worrying whether mine are coming up for air as my females are in a 2.5ft high tank and i worry theyve been in there now for atleast 4 days and all alive so thry must be right? Ur mum was a pretty betta do u live in uk if u have eggs ill take a female or 2 and ill breed them so her legacy lives on for as long as i live and when i have kids i ll tech them to do the same so her legacy will live on for ever

You could always lower the water level some. If the filter would allow this.

Thank you all for your support
And I live in Australia. That's a beautiful idea, If any eggs do hatch, I will definetly be keeping a few for breeding.
And also Liquid Skills, you could have resting spots closer to the top of the tank just in case..
