Hector is dead

[Hootie]

My spunky, ugly but cute fish died I'm so dissapointed! We got him just a little over a week ago. Poor fish...he was so fun to watch.

Good-bye Hector... I hope fishy heaven is nice.

Sorry to butt into your forum, but I'm so sorry to hear that Hootie!!

About a week ago, one of my Bettas died too! I had a total of 3 bettas-- all with different personalities. The one with least amount of "social skills" died. lol. He always swam away when people came near his bowl

Where did you buy him?? I week is too short of a time to buy a fish and it dying on you the following week!

Will and I bought him at PetSmart. I'm not exactly sure what caused him to die but I might have played a small part in it...
He was seen laying at the bottom of our tank for most of the night. The next day he was floating slowly (if at all) sideways or upside down. So I was on the phone and noticed he was stuck in the filter pipe...it suctioned him to it.
Anyways, I freed him and transfered him to a seperate container where he died almost instantly (I probably provoked shock).

I know PetSmart has a 14 day policy on their fish, but Will threw the reciept away and I already flushed him So I bought two new fish...
Chase - he chases his reflection and the other fish
Big Mama - because this fish is just FAT!

Thanks for your concern and sorry for the loss of your Beta! I love the male Betas for they are so beautiful!

I wish to extend my condolences. If I'm ever blessed with a son, the name Hector will live on.
