I recently found 1 of my female Bettas dead had the bottom of my tank with what looked like 2 slits/cuts near her gills then about a week and half back I found my male floating on his side and looked as if he'd started rotting away with his stomach cut and his eyes clouded over and around the same time 1 of my older females had just completely disappeared then today I checked the tank again and found another 1 of my female Bettas floating with half of the body rotted away. I've never had many casualties with Bettas in the past and only around 2/3 with other fish in the past year besides 1 tetra I found dead and floating and 1 African Dwarf Frogs that had climbed out of the water onto some java moss and looked swollen or as if it had choked so it seems quite strange how there's been a spate of deaths recently. I've tested the water and the ammonia is 0-0.1ppm, nitrite 0ppm and nitrate 5-10ppm. I've also been adding Seachem paraguard on occasion but this doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Really don't know what to do or what's causing the deaths all of a sudden in such a short space of time. Might also be worth mentioning that I'd had the Bettas in the tank for a good few months now so I seriously doubt fighting has caused any of the deaths.
Thanks for reading
 
your ADF could have caused it, it might be a african clawed frog which is agressive but some ACF are listed as ADFs

I've got about 8 ADF's but they're definitely not African Clawed Frogs plus I've been keeping ADF's for over a year now and never seem them act or behave aggressively once so i'm sure it's not them
 
How many gallon is your tank please?
Can you list all the fish you keep in the tank, how many?
 
correct me if i read this wrong, but, were all those bettas in the same tank at the same time?
