    Andy, Opie and Rex

    They were my 3 bettas. I have had Andy and Rex about a yr and Opie a few months. I can't believe they are gone; I really feel like it is all my fault.

    I cleaned their bowls out last night. When I went to get the chlorine drops to put in their bowls I realized I was out. I thought they should be fine for one night w/out any and tomorrow I can go get some.

    This morning I woke up and went to feed them and they were all dead. I had Opie in my room, my brother's betta was Rex, he was in his room and Andy was in the kitchen. I know it must have been because I didn't add the chloring drops. I honestly didn't know they HAD to have them or they would die. But that has to be what it was because every other time I have cleaned their bowls I have had the drops to put in.

    I feel just horrible that they died, and worse since it was because of something I did. I had no idea.

    These 3 guys were sweet bettas and I loved them and enjoyed them. They were sweet boys and I will never forget them.

    awww I am sorry about Andy, Opie and Rex. I did that once years ago myself. Actually the store told me I could set water out for two days and the colorine would no longer harm the fish, well that was a bunch of crap. They had happy lives while they were with you, and it was an accident. RIP sweeties.

    wow, how much chlorine do you have in your water? i have never had the fighters in plan tap water (except while i am cleaning their bowls) but i have with goldfish and they were fine. i didnt know bettas were so sensitive. It is not your fault. There was nothing you could do. Unless you had tank water or something. I sure your fishes are happy swimming under the rainbow bridge.
