A few days ago I put a diy surface skimmer in my Betta's (Fred's) tank. To get the skimmer to fit right I had to take the intake strainer of my filter off.
I did not think Fred would be able to get into the skimmer let alone the filter intake but today I came home from school and found Fred stuck in the intake tube
.
I had to use pliers to get Fred out, It was the only way to get him out.
I was as gentle as possible but when I was able to get Fred out he had many wounds even where the pliers did not touch him. Fred also had pop eye and what I assume are organs are sticking out of one of the wounds and his top fin was gone:cry::cry::cry::cry:.
I know he is not going to make it:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:.
I am planning to put him down with the clove oil and vodka technique. I will post a pic of him if anyone wants me to.
Fred meant so much to me. And now he is slipping away from me.
