Well I gave him a dose of Melafix last night but when I woke up this morning he looked much worse. His entire face had that white stuff on it and he was breathing heavily. Hubby called me at work and said that he was about dead so we added some Melafix and aquarium salt but unfortunately he didn't make it
Does anyone know what could have caused him to deteriorate so rapidly?
Here's what happened leading up to his death. I've had him for about two months and he's always been a healthy, happy, active betta. We got his new Hex 5 Wednesday night so I let it run for about an hour, added dechlor, and put him in it. I wouldn't have added ten fish at a time but I thought since it was just him he'd be fine. That night he happily explored his new tank. Thursday night we noticed that he had this white stuff on him and he wasn't as active as normal. We did a small water change and added Melafix. This morning he looked pretty rough and the white stuff had spread. When hubby got home at 4:00pm, he said he looked almost dead. The white stuff had covered his entire face and some of his fins were missing. He did another small water change and added Melafix and aquarium salt. I just got home and he's dead. Any help would be great, I don't want to add anymore fish to the tank until I find out what happened. Was it a disease or was he just stressed from being moved again??? I've got a bunch of snails in the tank and they seem to be doing fine. My poor betta
