#6. DoomSky

Type: Male Cyan Crown Tail Betta
Date of Purchased: 31st August 2008
Place of Purchased: Vinson Aquarium, Kajang Prima, Kajang
Status: Passed away on 7th September 2008 (total 1 week under my care)
Story: He was initially weak when I bought him. This was my first experience handling a betta with a 'new betta syndrome' which happens to a betta when being introduced to a new environment(new tank or new home). The betta might probably be stressed or failed to adapt with the new changes of pH or temperature. This happened to DoomSky. I didn't get to know much about him because his week condition. He showed the symptoms of having a disease- clamped fins, refuseing to eat, staying staticly at the bottom or top of the tank. I never had the chance of taking a picture of him flaring. In fact, he never did flare at anything. Actually, I didn't think he would last that long for a sick betta but fortunately he did survive for a week. So, he passed away a week after being aside us. However, it's better for him at least he wouldn't have to die in a cramped small glass at his fish store.
