I'd only had my betta fish for a few months before he died quite suddenly.
he had developed a case of fin rot a few days beforehand, but nothing particularly drastic. I found him on top of his frilly plant, half-out of the water, entirely lifeless. his gills were open wide, and his head was at an awkward angle. he was also quite stuck to the plant as I tried to remove him.
the only abnormal thing about him was his deteriorating fins. he had also lost a scale about a month earlier.
is it possible that he tangled and suffocated himself in the plant's leaves?
or could it have been a disease, or something else that I was unaware of?
thanks for any help.
