Well, it's been a long time coming, but Jasper my blue crowntail died today. I was prepared for it, but I'm still a little sad. He was my buddy.  When I first decided to keep fish, I had no intention of keeping bettas. Then I decided to try one out and bought Jasper from Petsmart. Now I'm hooked and can't imagine not having a betta around! So thanks, Jasper, for teaching me how great bettas are! Enjoy fishy heaven! |

Aww thats no fun at all. I haven't had a betta die on me yet and when one of them does I'll be very upset, I understand your pain. But as stated, at least he was able to live a good, comfortable life with an owner than took great care of him, unlike many other bettas. |

Jasper was a great pet, thanks everyone. I do take comfort in knowing that if I had not bought him, he most likely would have spent the rest of his days in that horrible little Petsmart cup. Instead he got to live as the king of my 10 gallon, lording over otos and red cherry shrimp. Fun times for him!
I've still got Finn, the veiltail at work, whom I will be moving home on Thursday. And Sally!
Sorry you lost your betta too ctendoh!

Sorry to hear he died Babybeige. I know how it feels to lose a pet as I have lost many. You gave him a good life and that's what matters.

the good news is.....within 2 months i should be in the middle of a selective breeding program for the talapia. already, i am looking for the best and brightest of all the fish in over a million gallons. the boss is looking for a zooligist to assist right now. hopefully, i will be on 3 days driving and 2 days catalouging and breeding. the better looking the product, the more people will buy.

Hey I'm late here, but I too am sorry. I know how it feels to lose a fish pet. It's darn tough. They may be fish, but they are still our beloved pets... many hugs!
