Her Loss Was Preventable| Betta Fish HoB Filter Disaster

I made a huge, dumb mistake with my aquarium filter that led to the passing of my favorite Betta fish, Calypso. She was so special to me and brought me so much happiness. Her death was 100% preventable. I feel terrible and I miss her so much. 

She was what I would consider my therapy fish. She is the first fish I had in my DBT therapy. I will never forget her. And I will never make this mistake again.  

I can’t stress enough the importance of not rushing through your tank maintenance. Check, double check, and triple check to make sure it’s all back together properly and safely. 

I posted this in the hopes that someone can learn from my awful mistake and prevent another senseless death of such a precious little life.
