Callatya Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 :) within 2 days. one with a water change, one without. I lost Cumba on Saturday. He curled up into this little mint green leaf shape. I think the stress of another female in his tank drove him batty he had eaten a lot of his tail off. I lost Rocky today. This has me utterly baffled. nothing had changed :? It just sucks.

Jess Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 aww, its horrid isn't it. (I lost one of my enisae the other night, leaving me 1. I was 99% sure they were a pair courting etc. I removed the log out of the tank and it must of got caught up on the java moss growing all over it. He was crispy on the ground outside. I am devasted. Damn wilds, I was so careful and checked too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraceBruno Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 So sorry to hear about all your losses! It must be the season to be losing bettas.. lost 2 in the space of 3 days last week after a water change and one more (my favourite and oldest one too!) has curled up under her little plant and hasn't moved in days. I fear she's on her way to the big fishbowl in the sky too! :wah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 :grouphug: to everyone I've lost two this past week myself. One was simply old age.. she was nearly 3 and she just faded out over this past week and I found her forever sleeping this morning.. the other was a complete shock. No idea why, just popped off over night ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najoha Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 We must have jinxed each other. I lost two girls today and one is missing. One girl was old the other had a rough boyfriend who ate the eggs out of her. Yuk what nasty animals I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Oh poor Cumba, he was a sweety. Yeah I've just been over a rough spot myself. One was a death without warning, it's sad when you have a perfectly heathy fish suddenly die . Yes it isn't unusual for bettas to pick at one another when weakened or dead, they are opportunist scavengers. I have a betta that has figured out if they flip a snail over they can eat the snail inside so I've not many snails left at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfeleq Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's so sad when they die for no reason, I can understand old age and illness though I may not accept it gracefully! Sorry for all your losses. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
