14.53 Uk Gal Tank

Thanks.

I know i really should mention this in my other post but it's to do with the 2ft tank aswell.
I also rescued a friends male betta before i got the guppies and had to do a fish-in cycle with that betta because i had to put it in the small 2.77 gal tank for a couple of days till my 2ft warmed up. The betta i rescued off her was a male veil tail betta and it had 7 diseases! It died after 2-3 weeks :sad: Would i have been better leaving it in the 2.77 gal at room temperature or was it a good thing to put it in the 2ft and fish-in cycle it? I did treat it for these 7 diseases:

-White spot,
-Mouth rot,
-Fin/tail rot,
-Fungus,
-Gill flukes,
-Body flukes,
-Internal parasites.

She had kept it in these conditions:

A small 1 gal bowl with a fast flow filter, 1 plant and 1 ornament. She did a fish-in cycle without doing water changes, she DID NOT read anything about them before getting the fish. She got the tank, ornament, plant and fish on the same day then she set it up and put the fish in.
I was very shocked when she told me. To say the least i wanted to get the fish straight from her house and put it in my 2ft tank there and then but i had guppies at the time.

I don't exactly understand what you are asking.
 
I'm asking whether i could have killed him by doing a fish-in cycle with him or whether it could have the dieseases or both? I just don't know what i should've done and i feel so guilty for him dying because even though i tried i feel like it was my fault he died.

I would say that he died due to the diseases. Bettas are very hardy, and can survive in an uncycled tank without daily water changes. However, it is not a good idea, nevertheless, it can be done.
 
Ok it's just that i thought it was my fault that he died, i knew he could have died by the diseases but i thought maybe i had added to his untimley death.

I wouldn't blame it on you at all. Even if it was your fault (Which I don't believe it was) then you can't really make a big deal out of it. It's all part of the game.
 
Ok well i'm going to my LFS tommorow if the snow lets up abit! :hyper: Going to get some pygmy cories for my 2ft tank while i'm there.

About the trio of puffers i am going to name them after me, my best friend and my boyfriend. So they will be called Aj (me), Rachel (best friend) and Jordan (boyfriend).

What colourful, comical fish can go in this tank? I recently found out that my LFS doesn't stock DP's anymore.
