Supporter FishyMandy Posted August 9, 2014 Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2014 Shaun had been battling finrot for a few months now, I was baffled as to why as my water results always came back ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate 10 or less After upping water changes, decreasing food and really making sure everything was always perfect he seemed to be getting better, but today I went to do his water change and found he had was swollen and pineconed I know dropsy can sometimes be treated, but last time I had a betta with dropsy I tried so hard to treat and he just got worse and looked like he was suffering a lot So taking all that into account I made the hard decision to euthanize Shaun, I kept remembering my old Betta freckle, and how I always felt I should have done so but kept putting it off until he got really bad and died on his own. I couldn't bare to see that happen again... RIP Shaun, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'll miss your little attitude and your unique multicolour eyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish to appear insensitive, but you have a cycled tank that is going to go downhill soon. Get another little fella straight away .... it will also ease your grief. Shaun may be gone, but you gave him a good life, and a dignified end....and you will never forget him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks x3 Unfortunately my mum doesn't want me to keep the tank set up for now, so if I choose to get another betta in the future I'll be recycling it first, so it will be a while away : 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
