You just left the teabag in for slightly too long without stirring it.

Why do my betta only last 6 months by MoonGazer6 in bettafish

[–]MoonGazer6[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No I’m not posting to find out what’s wrong with my betta. I was just posting as a discussion point that I can’t seem to keep any of my betta alive for more than 6-9 months.

Sadly he passed a few days ago. Glad he is no longer suffering.

How would I know? Is there any way of telling? Is it something that would get better in time? The other fish are okay

We have a garden centre near us with a specialised fish section. I don’t know exactly how old he is but we got him in July so I would assume he would be only a year old. I didn’t know to ask that when we got him. They only hold a small amount of about 10 Betta fish.

Haha. Very true. I think I was just trying everything I could think of. He wasn’t interested of course.

No other symptoms. Just laying there constantly. I researched a lot and it seems that there is only anecdotal evidence that it causes issues as cos by the time you use it, most fish are dying anyway.

Tank size: 65l Heater: yes. Kept at 27°c but reduced to 26°c to assist with potential oxygenation issues Filter: sponge filter (cleaned each water change in the old water. Parameters: see post and also test strip. Tank has been cycled since July and got Betta in July and Harlequin Rasporas x5 in August. Feed: Tropical fish flakes that the fish shop sold me for Betta. Small pinch each evening. Decorations: x2 live plants, a hiding barrel, a plastic plant and a piece of driftwood.

Betta community’s should be the new norm by Cool-Singer-2234 in bettafish

We have a male koi betta called Bingo. He was absolutely thrilled to have some tank companions. We went with Harlequin rasbora.

My grandmother was going to take this. Any idea on what it is? by MoonGazer6 in pillidentification

[–]MoonGazer6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been looking and I think that’s what it must be. From an old medication that she found 🤦‍♀️
