I had a fish that went crazy in a nice size tank and I want to know what is going on? It is a male betta?

Question

He was swimming around in the tank feriousfully and them he died.
I know I feed him right because the pet store woman said to feed him twice a day with 3 pellets.

Answer 1

Ammonia poisoning is most likely. Could also have been too cold of water. There is far more to taking care of fish than just feeding them. Before you replace him, do a little research on the proper care and keeping of bettas and all fish you may want to keep. Thanks, good luck and sorry about your fish.

Answer 2

Do you test your water?
When you say woman in the pet store, you mean an adult working in retail? Do you think this adult working in a retail store even graduated high school? What makes you think she knows anything about fish?

Answer 3

It really sounds like an issue of poor water quality. My first bet would be a high ammonia count. You should check the ammonia and be ready to make a water change or two to level things out.

Answer 4

sorry to hear about your fish, but when betta's see their own reflection they think it is another fish and go crazy casue they are very protective and must be alone!! hopefully you did not have ay other fish with him casue that would have been the problem

Answer 5

did u cycle the tank first, nitrites burn the fishes gills

Answer 6

He was pissed off at President Bush over the war in Iraq.

Answer 7

If your fish could see his own reflection, he would have attacked it and would have died from overexertion. Was he alone in the tank? Betas are supposed to be alone.

Answer 8

get a test kit, something is wrong with your water

Answer 9

Water problem!!..><>:)

Answer 10

he found out he was gay
