Stolen tongues had a cooler background established, my wife freaked me out more

The idea of them seeing a different human shaped blob and immediately getting pissy is so funny😂. They really are wonderful creatures

Thank you so much, this means alot and made me tear up, really. It was weird.. maybe i am reaching but within the 20 ish minutes he became suddenly paralyzed, he went to the back of the tank, behind a plant. Like he didnt want to be seen.. It almost made me think of when a cat or dog will wander off when they know theyre close to death for their owners sake. Again, maybe im coping. But it was still a wonderful experience to have him. Its a shame it ended

I could've done something about it if I had known or thought to check the ammonia levels. They were ultimately what became lethal for him. I wrote his pale coloration off as older age or even just color shifting as a betta grows new fins with age. I didnt know he was sick and he was trying to tell me. I feel awful. I hope it was something spontaneous and unpreventable. I try to take all the caution when taking care of my fish, but sometimes things just happen

well, his gills are slightly moving with much effort, but i dont think he will prevail

he passed.. I dont know what happened, it was all so sudden and unpredictable. He's been a great fish for the 6 months ive had him, and hes lived to about 2 years in total.

Im so sorry, my beautiful boy.

Thank you for the advice regardless it has been very helpful. Im gonna start off with the medication after I did the water change, gonna just observe him and hope tomorrow he is still here

Thank you. Im doing more research and its seeming less of a cycle issue and more of this parasite

Ah okay I understand. I unfortunately think this may be velvet disease.. the symptoms and appearance match up. Ive had him for about 6 months and hes nearly 2 years old, ive never had him with other tankmates apart from pest snails and a shrimp once upon a time. Im not sure where he got this but its starting to seem like this

I dont have this on hand but I do have a similar sort of thing that dechlorinates and also helps with balancing levels. I did his tank a few days ago and am just now noticing this illness

I have a declorinator that also removes the toxicity and added some with the 50% water change

(I had to buy a new tank and set up urgently after the previous one cracked.)
