hes dead. i sat and watched him take his last breath and hell his little container. he sunk to the bottom of the tank so i moved him into a shallow container to help him breathe and he just never came up for air im so devastated. he died with his last 3 days in a beautiful tank and extremely lovedðŸ˜with literal 24 hour care i tried so hard to get him to eat
after my last betta i said id never get another bc that one broke my heart and this one has stolen and broken my heart within 3 daysðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

So very sorry. It always hurts. And it has happened to most of us.
genuinely will cuss the people out at this store if i go back and none of the bettas waters were changed
Is it possible the parameters of the tank were just too different from what he was used to in the cup? I’ve seen fish just drop right into a tank and be fine, but others need that acclimation time.
Sorry about your little guy.
SIP Juniper, thanks for giving him a chance and a good place to live for his last days
