Okay. So I have a question.
I have had a Betta for a while, and all of the sudden at the bottom of my tank I noticed that there was this white cloud kind of...growing. It was kind of fuzzy looking and I wasn't sure what it was, so I called my brother, who is really into salt water aquariums. He said to try to get rid of it with a turkey baster.
When I tried, it got rid of most of it, but in the process left pieces of it in the water. I got kind of freaked out and took my Betta out and put him in a different container so he wouldn't be in the water with the stuff. But my brother said it would be fine. He said the stuff would settle and I could try to take it out again. Then, he stirred it up. Gah. So, I put my fish back in the water. And the water was all weird and kind of dirty with the cloudy stuff in it. But my brother said it would settle in a few minutes. So I left and when I came back later that night to go to sleep my fishy was deeaaaad. : (
It was sad.
So, does anyone know why he died, per chance? Maybe you've had that white fuzzy cloud growing in the bottom of your tank?
Anyways, thanks for any help!
My tank is one gallon, by the way. Of course it's freshwater with the Betta.
