tw pet death

My betta fish, Rudy, only got worse so I made the decision to humanely euthanize him.

His scales were badly pineconing, his stomach was swollen, underbelly and gills turning white, finds clamped ( indicator of stress ) and he was just laying on the bottom barely able to swim, all signs of dropsy.

I had him for almost nine months and he would have been roughly six months to a year old when the pet store sold him. Unfortunately, betta fish ( especially koi and plakat bettas, which is what Rudy was ) are horrendously overbred to the point where their immune systems are fucked up beyond belief and they’re susceptible to all kinds of genetic disorders, fungal infections, bacterial infections, and viruses. Most betta fish never even make it past six months.

Rest in peace, Rudy. You were a sassy little shit who refuses to eat anything but the 99 cent Walmart clearance-isle fish flakes. Wouldn’t even eat the $11 dried crumbled bloodworms. Bro had horrible taste but enough bad bitch energy to make up for it.

I’m sorry I couldn’t save you ❤️ 🐟

I put him in a Tupperware bowl and put him in the freezer since I have no access to vodka or clove oil ( other common methods of putting down a fish )

His final swim. He tried so hard just to get to the surface for some oxygen. He wouldn’t have gotten better, but it still makes me feel horrible for not being able to treat him ( I had no aquarium salts or fish antibiotics, and I didn’t have time to order any ).

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House

1 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him. 2 And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy. 3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? 4 But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? 6 And they could not answer again unto these things.

7 And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them, 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him, 9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee. 11 For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

The Parable of the Great Banquet

15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many: 17 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. 22 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

The Cost of Being a Disciple

25 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? 29 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, 30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. 33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. — Luke 14 | American Standard Version (ASV) The American Standard Version Bible is in the public domain.

Aziraphale isn’t feeling good tonight. Cut for pictures, any tumblerians who know about bettas your help would be appreciated. He’s suddenly super bloated, and he was fine this morning. I’m worried it’s the early start of dropsy. Idk if he’s pinecoaning or if I’m just paranoid. I really hope he’s just constipated, as I have been over feeding him a tad. Granted I literally never see him eat. And I didn’t feed him today either. His tank is still cycling so his water parameters aren’t ideal but I’ve been very diligent with my water tests and changes. When I tested tonight ammonia was .25, nitrite was a less than .5 and 0 nitrates. Immediately did a water change. Posted on Reddit too but haven’t gotten a response.

Can’t get a good overhead because of my shifty phone camera but if anyone can tell please let me know.
