GFG,

Congratulations, that is all I can say as I never had a Betta .

In order to add 2 (or more) pics to one post you would have to have a photo store somewhere on the web and then just add links to that URL address in your post. But, if you remove the pics from that store at any time they are lost in your thread here as well.

I mentioned it before, you are one year behind the rest of the world, at least your pictures are . And who is that gentleman in the second pic?

stupid Camera!

thought I'd set the date correctly.

the Gentleman is my DAD!!! he will kill me - I made Mum hold up the fish so I could get a half decent photo - sort of worked!

My heater went wrong on the five gallon.

my new boy cain died whilst I was at work.

I can only assume it was my heater, as the temp was 86' when I got home tonight.

I had tested the heater before setting up the five g, run it in a bucket for 34hrs. although it had been awhile since I used it.

He was my first White Betta, I wanted one for ages.

I feel so guilty. You know often I feel bad when a fish dies - well everytime. recently with the water company problems I have thought well actually I couldn't have know that would happen.

But this, really if I have left him at the shop, he would still be alive.

stupid heater.

86 f, really, i dont think this temp would have
killed your betta unless the betta was already in poor condition prior to adding the fish to the tank.
Having had my tanks water reach this temp regularly in the summer, and having had no problems with any of my fish (not even the white clouds or dojos), I doubt this killed it.
It probably was already affected by an illness, and the move alone to a new tank with a higher heat than he was used to was likely the cause.

my plastic stick on thermometer only goes up to 86' I think maybe it could have been higher. the water felt warm like in a bath?

I did notice that he had some veins showing in his tail when I got him home? his gills were very puffy when I found him?

I tested the water and cylced the tank with other tank filter media, plus I added cycle.

I have taken a picture, and will post it in hospital forum..

thanks Sneaky
