BSR Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 My family / friends know im into the "fish hobby" but dont really understand all that goes into it. Recently my Betta passed away, He had battled some tumors on his side that i had been treating for the last 6 months. I tried to provide him the best home to be comfortable and his house was on my desk where i saw him every day for a number of years. I just wanted to share with like minded people who have most likely gone through the same thing of loosing a cherished fish / pet. His name was Pixel and he was a really active betta that always greeted me and loved a good black worm. Thanks for listening...attached is a pic 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Sorry to hear about your loss. Bettas are such beautiful fish and it's fun to get to know their personalities. I'm sure he appreciated being a cherished pet and everything you did to make his life as good. Hugs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I lost my betta sometime in 2020(of course it was 2020). Hopefully your next betta if you get another one does better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It looks like he had the perfect betta home. He was a lucky guy that you picked him out! I’m so sorry that he’s gone. Losing a wet pet is so sad. But I’m glad that you both got to enjoy each other for several years. And I’m glad you came here so we could listen. ❤️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Beautiful tank. It sounds like he had a great life with you, and was very well taken care of. It's tough losing a pet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 What a beutifal boy! He defentley lived a happy life with you. I am so sorry that you had to loose your buddy, S.I.P. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Billy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 My deepest condolences to you. I understand where you are coming from. My wife does not understand my hobby or the happiness and joy it brings. She only sees the dollar sign of what i monetarily spend on the hobby. Although she doesn't understand why this hobby brings me such joy, she does understand that it does make me happy. It may seem silly to others why we get emotional over our wet pets. But the joy we strive so hard to give them is hard fought compared to the joy they seem to bring us with such grace and ease. As i type this a bit bleary eyed from your loss, it dawns on me why i dont understand my wife's fascination with sad movies that makes you cry, and yet worlds apart your story has moved me, and made me teary eyed. Again my deepest condolences, and thank you for sharing your story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloryview Farm Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Only someone who has sat motionless for an eternity, watching and wondering over our guys can understand. my Bettas truly look me in the eye when I am by the tank, and I love it. Both you and he were blessed to have time together, this is an area filled with people who understand. you came to the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Fan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You gave your little Betta a beautiful home, and cared for him well. Out of many he was truly blessed to have come to you. It is always hard to lose an animal that responded to us and had its own personality, though some might not understand they do become part of our family of sorts and it is never easy to lose someone you care for. I hope you will consider giving another Betta such a beautiful home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 All God's creatures are special even our fish. Take comfort in knowing you provided Pixel with the best of care. I hope another Betta will be lucky to come into your life when the time is right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkarahW Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So sorry for your loss. It takes a fellow fish nerd to appreciate the love and effort that goes into fish keeping. To any other human, without a love of fish or the hobby, they seem to be just decor or "just a fish", but they are so much more than that. It's great to have a forum like this as an outlet and community. Last year, I lost one of my favorite Corys, an albino named Ponyo. He was the partner to my Green Cory, Sosuke. It broke my heart. So I know exactly what you're going through. Hopefully, your heart heals soon and maybe lessen the blow with a new buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
