Oh and the one that really breaks my heart is the Puffer. I have had freshwater and saltwater puffers and they do not make it. They are so cute too!
I have gone through a lot of Tiger Barbs too over the years. Upon dissection many had internal parasites (worms).QueueBa11;2211713; said:For some reason, tiger barbs died on me after about a month. This was about a 4 years ago and it's strange becasue all of the other fish in the tank are still alive (clown loaches, balas). I went through three schools of 6 before moving on to other fish.
I know I read some where that the life span of a betta is only 2 years. It might be because they are kept in those bowls. Mine lives in a 55 gallon. Hes only 1 years old. I hope he lives more than 2 years.bettas. cant keep them alive more than a year or two.
