My beta fish is struggling. He is starting to be unable to control himself physically. He rolls into a floating position every once in a while.
I am upset about him. I feel like we are on the beta deathwatch.
He has the white mark of trouble on his fin. I have tried three different kinds of ‘medicine’ for it to no avail. There is never much that can be done for a fish.
While searching for another brand of beta medicine, the person working at the pet shop said that three years is a long life for a beta fish, as if I should be happy he lasted so long. I still wish that there was more that I could do. Technically, I paid $3 for him but have spent $20 on bottles of miracle cures. It is hard to watch him struggle and do nothing.
My shamanic teacher always says sometimes it is their time to go. Despite what I wrote about Bill, I wish there was someway to stop this process and help my fish.
