feeling a bit sad-

My little Sevvie died this morning, or late last night. I don't know what of - for a couple of days, he was sulking at the bottom of his bowl and spitting out his food. I tried medicating him, but all I had on hand was fungus guard and bettafix, and, of course, salt. Whatever I did wasn't the right thing.

Poor little guy. I really think he was a bit sick from the time I got him, and there was only one week or so in the two months I had him that he acted like a normal betta (making nests, swimming calmly, eating everything he was given, and so on). I am not as sad as I was when Charlie died, but I still feel bad and sorry about him - most of all because I wish I had known how to help him.

I know how that feels. I had to stop replacing mine because they all died so young. I did all the supposedly right things, too, like adding the right amounts of drops and all. I think they're middle-aged or older when they come home from the store. A few months is all they have.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
