Re: Two new rescues!
Best way is to put him in the fridge in his bag - i've done that to claim back for a dead fish from a shop before

Re: Two new rescues!
Heres some more bad news. Flame has died, he seemed really well and the next he was dead. I took both the bodies back and got a refund. I havent got another rescue as I'm not to sure what is in their water or something for a 'healthy' betta to just die for no reason? My waters fine, he was in a strict quaritene system so couldnt of been from anything else. Strange but R.I.P Aqua & Flame.

Yeah, Its just sad that both of them eventually died. I spoke to the manager and he was disgusted at the fin rot the employee didnt notice! And he apparently has had alot of complaints.

Hopefully they'll do something to improve the situation then

Re: Two new rescues!
So sorry you lost Flame too. I doubt very much it was anything you did but more likely they were both not in the best of condition when you got them. This unfortunately is quite common with shop bought bettas.

Yes its very sad. I have ordered perspex to divide the tank and going to buy one of your bettas when you breed some for the other side!

Ive always found in the LFS here that, vtails are oldish and don't last very long anyways. Howevr none of the V-tails arround here are in goo shape.
LFS should be traind, and have a licence to sell fish.

Re: Two new rescues!
I've only realised that I must have posted after the bad news.
RIP Aqua. Jake, you gave him a safe environment for a few days & tried to help him. Nobody can ask for any more than that.

These weren't very old and are half the size of Embry, Aqua I understand why he died, but Flame has really baffled meStorm wrote:Ive always found in the LFS here that, vtails are oldish and don't last very long anyways. Howevr none of the V-tails arround here are in goo shape.

Thanksss! Its good that I got them first. The employee recommended keeping with 'any tropical fish, only grow to the size of the tank and hardly seeing them is normal'. I really hope he gets fired soon as, but it was quite obvious he had either Autism or some Learning difficulties.
