Betta Suicide....

[bcroft]

Yesterday I moved back to college and brought my 3 bettas back in their divided tank. I got back setup their water, maintained their heat and tested their PH. I then went to get my oil changed on my car, and when I got back....well....

1 - Ralph Jr jumped out and was on my desk, and I dont know how long he was there but he was still alive and this morning he made a bubble nest.....

2 - Murphy jumped into RJs side and was circling around him lol.... no one was injured...

Just thought I'd share a weird story of my fish hating me and wanting to die.

That is scary. I am glad that Ralph Jr is okay. The stress from the move could be what is causing their weird behavior.

[bcroft]

Yeah maybe, it's just weird because they have never done any of that before....

I was so scared because I didnt know how long RJ was on the desk for because I wasn't there and he looked dried up....

Yikes, talk about bad betta luck that day!

How is everyone doing at this point after the move? Is there a difference in water chemistry between home and school?

[bcroft]

The PH at school is a little bit higher than my home. They usually don't act that way though lol... All of them are in good shape now though and RJ keeps making his bubble nests, that crazy old fart

wow, that sounds like a scary experience. I hope they're all ok about a month after this incident.
