I have two Betta and they are in seprate
tank. Okay, so I cleaned my Betta's tank and the wierdest thing happened was they both died at the same day. I am not sure why that happened, I used clean purified water and put in conditioner. Does anyone know why this could have happened?

I saved half of the water and put in clean water as ussual. I did it the way I had always did. Plus both of them were kind of weakening. So I asked the pet store that I really trust on. They gave me this medicine and everything turned out fine. Until yesterday. I think it was from the temperture. It was really cold in my area so even though I use a little bit of warm water, th water turns ice cold.

It sounds like the temperature change shocked them (and killed them). Before you get another, get a small heater, betta do better with a heater.

How did you clean the tanks? Did you vacuum out only some of the water or did you remove all of the water? Was the temp the same? Maybe you put in too much conditioner, what kind of conditioner do you use?

It was the temperture. Betas like warm water. About 70 - 75

Did you put their tanks close together? If they could see each other they probably tried to fight one another through the glass. I'm not joking! As you know, Bettas, otherwise know as fighting fish, will kill each other if kept together. However, my Betta kept ramming himself into his bowl because he could see his own reflection. I did some research and read that he would continue this behavior until he died unless I could make his reflection go away. Perhaps they saw each other for the first time and tried to fight and then died of exhaustion.

If you have city water it could be they just put a large dose of chloramine in the drinking water. It also could have been that the temperature was too varied. you shoudl let the new water sit to be the exact same temperature, fish can die from a variance of 5degrees.

Its the temperature of the water. You have to poor a little of the old water into a cup and feel it with your finger and make the new water the same temperature. The colder or warmer water shocks them.
