Fish Crazy
Unfortunately, my little crowntail betta died last night.
:This all came on so quickly with the little guy. He had been sleeping a lot on the gravel--but was eating. I thought that he was just enjoying being under his leaf canopy.
Frankly, I'm not quite sure what happened. I will say that his belly looked a little bloated after he died--no pineconing. He's been so happy in his 3 gallon tank with filter and heater which I cleaned/changed water every week and a half. This past week, he was a virtually round the clock bubble nest builder!
He had stopped eating pellets for two days, but would eat bloodworms. But yesterday, he wouldn't eat anything just seemed to get weaker and weaker. He did try to flap his front fins at me anyway when I was with him--which he always did when he was excitedly saying hello...
To put it mildly, I am devastated! I've only had him about 4 mos.! And I got him after another precious vt betta died after almost a year's residence at our house.
This is probably my 5th or 6th betta in the last few years.I think I need to take a break from them. I can't stand bonding with one and then losing it again right nPow. It's just too painful.
My husband and I are discussing different pets that might have longer lives. But it's so hard to see his clear 3 gallon tank over on a table in our bedroom. (I have left the filter running in case I wanted to get another fish ...so I wouldn't have to cycle the filter again...)
Thanks for listening...
Love,
