I had a die-off of my two FAVORITE breeding pairs, who were all in a divided 10g. They all died within a few days of each other, mysteriously. One of the pairs were siblings of the turquoise BF spawn, and what bums me out the most is that I can't continue that line. The other pair was my yellow & green BF DT Plakats, I was also about to breed them.

I got really discouraged after losing those four... but I had another small spawn over the summer, and I'm about to spawn 2 siblings from that, for the Northern California show in May. Sometimes you just need a break. Bettas have such fragile lives, and it sounds lame, but they can break your heart.

If you're interested in copper marble Plakats this summer, you know I would send you some, for free. C: That is, if I ever figure out how to go about deporting/importing fish.
Aw! That sucks! I ended up with a pair of siblings from your first spawn. They were SO gorgeous! I wanted to breed them -- I tried every trick in the book, neither seemed interested in mating. I think I got them a little later in life though, which is probably why. I remember your yellow & green BF DT PKs too! Probably one of my faaaavorite pairs I'd ever seen! Such a shame

You're right. I probably just need a hiatus. It's really emotionally draining losing so many bettas in a short time frame.
