5 bettas,all dead within 5 days of each other. All in seperate,10 gallon tanks. Water params were perfect,no toxins were added to the water,filter going,plenty of air at the top,good food,comfortable plants to lie on...
and only one had any spots-a sudden,violent fungus that tore him apart (literally. a crowntail went to shreds. it was horrible).
So,we have him figured out.
The others? Well,one was eaten by cats.
The other three were all female and all just -died-. The temperature was fine,I checked the thermometer for mercury leaks (none),and the filter media was fine,too.
What killed these females. Go on. Try to figure it out.

Good guesses at their age. These girls were approximately 10 months-1.3 years old,though! Not quite old with bettas. ^_-
And as I said. No toxins. =)

I'm well aware of how they died. After nearly a week and a half of figuring,we FINALLY figured out what it was. I wanna see how good you guys are. ^_-

Something airborne but untested for. Could be lots of things. You have ruled out the obvious, but thousands of answers remain.

They probably saw thier reflections on their tanks and being normal females wanted the other dead. They just kept banging into the wall, mine does it sometimes! Its pretty funny

sometimes the female gets injured during the breeding.
