i had another post that hardly ne1 replied to abt the whole tank having things, alot of u read it, 1 or 2 replied.

well now she looks dead, being pushed all ova the tank by the current

only has use of 1 side fin, as the other is covered in rot and fungas, sticking it to her side.

i have read abt euthenisa, and have got advice frm the shop.

he told me to put her in a bag, n hit it against a wall as hard as i cud to make it quick 4 her.

ive treated the tank with melafix, then she suddenly got worse, so treated her with eSHa 2000 fin rot (the double dose as reccomended by the package for very ill fish)

she hasnt got better, and i now feel guilty for letting her live being blown around the tank


i cnt do it myself, i wud have to ask my dad, but i still dnt wana do it.

she sinks n then uses all her energy 2 get to the top whicvh only lasts a few seconds n then she sinks, gets blown all ova the tank, and then struggles again.

this site says that i wud have to remove the brain, i just cant do this, but i can tell she is suffering.

i have been on the fone most of the day 2 the store that i orignally got her from, and they told me how 2 do it, but i cnt do it.

it just seems cruel to keep her alive wen she has abt a 3% chance of survival

i have put her in the breeding net, but she is floating more or less, then sinking again.

i started off this morning finding my other female betta dead, so moved this 1 2 the hospital tank, (most my tanks had problems, hospital and community, so i didnt no wot 2 do)

i treated the tank with melafix this morning, cus i wasnt sure of wot she had, then i found that it was deffinately mouth rot. she is in very bad shape, cnt stay uprite, cant hardly swim (only tail dorsal and right side fin work.) she has fungas all ova her that has developed ova the space of the day, she has clouded ova eyes.

i wanted her to survive, the shop has been so helpful, i mean ive been on fone all day asking wot i can do, then just b4 they shut i foned n asked if worse came to the worse wot i cud do to help her out.

she goes upside down, then flips, but she is gettin tired of this, and getting weaker.

help ?!
she looks dead, so i go 2 get her out, then she flips, im sat hear in tears, i mean i dnt wana see her suffer, but i cnt bring myself to end it 4 her. sud i ask my dad 2 do it ? i am 99% sure she will die within the nxt few hours if not sooner
 
I have never had to euthenize a fish, but from the sound of it, I think you should do it for your little girl. Send her to the great fishy bowl in the sky, so she doesn't have to suffer anymore. I suggest taking her to your pet store, where they can tell you on the spot if she can be cured, and if not, they will probably euthinze her for you. :-( sorry to hear about your sick gurl. best of luck to you both! :-(

Sorry Caroline, maybe the timing was perfect, it obviously saved you from your heart wrenching decision :-(
