I brought my first beta 5 days ago.
I got a 2.5 Gallon (10 litre tank. The tanks sold as a 15 litre, but with gravel not filling the tank to it’s brim it only holds 10) a 25watt water heater, that heated the tank to 24deg C (75degF) and fed him a variety of pellets and bloodworms.
I had all the water conditioners/agers that I use in my goldfish tank in the water. (I forget exactly what all the stuff does. But basically it’s water ager and conditioner.)
Last night he very active and was making bubble nests around the plant in his tank… this morning he was dead.
When I brought him he was sluggish (but he was in ¼ gallon, 500ml cup) and his lower fins looked a little bit damaged.
When I emptied the tank out, I noticed that the heater and thermometer where very, very slimy. Is it possible that I accidentally put to much water ager in the tank?
