Rip My Baby Boy

[redbetta]

After a few days of being pretty sick, my baby boy died overnight. May he rest in peace forever. He had a great life but just after moving to a big tank he got swimbladder and we fixed it but now he was just sick. Not sure what caused it. He left behind a beautiful copper gas girl and a gorgeous copper black girl who would have been mommies. It' going to be hard to find another like him. It's extremely hard, I've never lost a betta before and I don't understand why it had to be him.
Rest in Peace my little one. He was only 5 months too

Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for you loss. We recently lost our youngest boy to a nasty virus (In my siggy). Nothing we did helped or saved him. Was a very sad loss and he never became a Dad either.
Hugs,
P.

Redbetta,
Sorry to hear about your little guy! I know how excited you were to breed him, he was gorgeous. Atleast it wasn't a wide spread disease and you've still got your pretty females.

 

[redbetta]

thanks so much guys, it sucks, I didn't even have any babies from him, makes me want to cry. My black copper girl actually isn't very impressed either, she's stressed and I've moved her to a big tank and she didn't like it there, now she's back in the 1 gal but I don't know she's not very lively. If I lose her too I'm going to shooot myself.

Bless him sorry, R.I.P.

 

[Booboo puppy]

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Thanks guys, it's aweful not to have him stuck to the wall of the tank staring at me typing on the laptop. I loved him before I even bought him, I kept looking at his picture over and over and over. Gahh makes me upset to think about it. At least he's in betta heaven, I feel so bad he had such a short life

 

[Flu]

Aww, poor guy.

 

[Ethos]

Sorry Its hard to replace bettas when you want them to be exactly alike...

 

[afireinside]

Sorry man, he was nice.

Gah, not your marble! Liv I'm so sorry to hear that I know how much he meant to you even before you bought him; you were so thrilled with him, and rightly so. He was just gorgeous *huggles*

Out of curiosity, what symptoms did he display before he went? Brutus started acting a little funny just yesterday too, a little sluggish and pale, seemingly out of nowhere. I'm keeping a close eye on both him and Nero now, since after that crazy outbreak of dropsy I had with the last 'batch' I bought I'm especially nervous of problems that crop up in one fish of a shipment.

Thanks guys, it's still so hard not to have him around
Andie I know eh, I was just soo excited. He didn't show a lot of anything, sluggish and pale, he was constipated last week but I don't know if it was something internal but I fed him peas and he was fine for the weekend and when I came back I fed him again and bam he got sluggish and a bit pale, and I just knew he was going to go cause he barely came up for air. I didn't want to think that way but when I got up yesterday morning I just had that feeling and I went to look and he was gone. Hope it works out for you Andie. My girls are doing really well, I really don't have any idea what it could have been..
