Hello everyone.
This isn't directly about saltwater fish but is definitely related. My betta fish died this morning. He had a wound on him for 3 days and he seemed ok until yesterday. I had been feeding him and keeping the water clean for him in hopes that he could heal, but yesterday he started becoming lethargic and I knew it might be the end. So when I scooped his body out of the tank this morning it came as no surprise.
He lived only 2 years and I feel like I could have done something. He was healthy and happy in his setup until he hurt himself. He loved earthworms and chilling in the plants. He died on my watch and I feel bad about it. I buried him outside and laid flowers on his grave. I'm sorry little buddy.
How do you guys cope with loss? I feel so guilty and like he didn't live his life to his full potential.
