How did my betta fish die?

[highland145]

How damned many guppies did you fry up last time?

1437 bastards are small.

I had a female. Apparently, I filled the water to close to the top with no cover. You don't have to guess what happened

Sorry for you..I bet it was hard for you. Try to get a cover of that tank the next time

 

[Jackson scodback]

Yes, that was funny and I save my dead fish in the freezer until it's grilling time. You should try it.

WTF

Why does it look like there’s no water in the bowl in that picture?

Ya seems your eyes themselves are drunk

 

[Jackson scodback]

Perhaps not enough or too much salt or other chemicals.

Yes I remember I put salt for treatment purposes

OK here is where u failed.

1. You put in HOT water... did you messure the temperature at all in the water?
2. You Changed the entire water.... the only time this is safe is if you got it from a straight RO/DI tap, where the TDS is 0... dont know what that means? it means u shouldnt do a 100% water change until you do.
3. You added Salt... Betas are mostly fresh water fish. You also most likely brackished the water unless u had a hydrometer, which i don't think you do, as mostly salt water reef tank people use those, and so my deduction poor watson is:

The fish died because u cooked it in water too high for tolerance, on top, it was laced with copper and chlorine coming from tap, which you also made brackish.

In short, you literally made fish soup out of the poor thing.

Betas are one of the easiest fishes to own since they are labyrinth fish, meaning they can take air for some periods of time, and require air.
Betas also are not very picky about water quality until it becomes full of there feces and it smells like a algae infested lake.
Betas still however require you to do some research on how to keep them alive, as they are not pixils in a VR world, where you cal roll back your data to the last save point.

My advice, there are TONS of info on how to keep a beta alive.
Start reading, compare and see what is contrasting, and go with whatever more sites seem to recommend, because the internet also has a lot of trolls which would love to see you grief as they gave you advice to kill your fish.

Well I've certainly learned a lot. I thought about an aquarium with fish but I can barely take care of my cats.

You probably sent it into shock with the sudden change in temperature/flora.

Murderer.

 

[paperfist]

WTF

Ya seems your eyes themselves are drunk

But I do not drink and never tell a lie.

You drained all the water out with the fish still inside?
