Hi, I just had the misfortune of losing my beloved betta, Charlie. If I had thought he would not make it, I would have ended his needless suffering a few days ago. This happened after about 8 or 9 days of treatment.

I wanted to hear opinions on signs that "THAT" time is close. Being that I own other fish, this will not be the only occurance of this misfortunate situation. I don't want to make my fish suffer, but I do want to do everything I can to help them survive, if at all possible.
p.s. please lets leave out of this discussion methods of how to euthanize fish. I have seen a thread (maybe it was a sticky) on this forum that addresses that. Plus, I really couldn't have smashed poor Charlie. I loved him too much. I would have used the boyfriend technique.
