my female betta had an accident yesterday

[Katome556]

Her Bowl Broke, and ended up crashing into my male betta flare's bowl,his bowl survived the crash but hers broke into itty bitty pieces. It took a full minute to find her she was luckily still alive and my dad rushed her into non treated water,which i quickly added drops to after she was in it.She looks unharmed and is eating like a little piggy like usual.


any ideas on what i should look out for , she fell off a table and it's about 3' high,she was on the floor which might or might not have been cleaned,i'm really worried about her even though she's acting normal.

i'm sure she's fine. just keep an eye on her the next few days.

how did the bowl fall? did someone knock into the table or something?

 

[Katome556]

it just was setting in it's normal spot and it's almost like it was perfectly cut in half or something and just the top half slid off crashing into my other betta bowl.

meh...
how she doing? still good?

im sure she was just a bit stressed by the fall

 

[Katome556]

she's doing great and is back to being a stress free happy betta.

I'm very doubtful that she suffered anything traumatic. Bettas have a special breathing organ (called a labyrinthe, I think) other than their gills so they can directly breathe air from the mouth like a human which goes on to say that bettas can last longer out of water than most fish as long as they land in a puddle of water or still have the slime on their bodies.
