I messed around and bought a Pleco fish in Walmart a few weeks back, I've just always admired this fish. When I started out, I had four female Bettas. The Pleco (stressed obviously) developed ICK. I attempted to remove him and treat him the second I noticed it but lo and behold, all the female Bettas had gotten it. I removed them all, bought the solutions, new gravel and everything and cleaned out the tank. I put them all back in the next day, the first female Betta died, an hour later, the second female Betta and finally the Pleco itself was floating upside down dead. Now I only have 2 females left ("Jade" and "Crimson" I call them) and Jade either hides or floats at the top very still while Crimson is more active. My 1st question is does anybody know why my fish died suddenly?
And finally, I read somewhere that I need more than two female Bettas for balance or one may become stressed. Is this true and should I get ready to purchase a couple more?
