I have 2 Male bettas,Shadow and Jinx,3 female bettas in the same tank,Lucy,Voilet and Scarlet,1 goldfish,Fanta,and a 110 gallon tank with a zillion tropical fish :lol:

It was probably a lack of oxygen and stress. Im sorry :(

Off subject- I just noticed you have a fish named Shiro and a fish name Kyro! I have a character named SoarkyShiro and one name Kyro! That's so weird :shock:

Was the water heated? or did you leave it cold or something? if that's the case, can tropical fish go for a night without a tank heater? just trying to help you solve it. :) And I agree Dakotak, too. It was probably mainly stress or something, was the bowl very big?

And wooooww, that is A LOT of fish! and 110 gallons... that's ginormous! you must have to maintain it a lot. Is it hard to keep clean? -- maintain? XP

No the water wasnt heated,my goldies dont have a heater anyway and the bowl was pretty big.
The 110 gallon,i clean every 2 weeks,its pretty easy but the annoying part is planting plants ccause its really tall and you only just reach the bottom when your on a chair.

I have a 110. As long as you do weekly water changes and keep up with it, its not that bad. Like alpha said its the plants or needing to reach in the bottom of the tank and you cant. XD

Ooooh, their goldfish. XP Oh wow, that must take ages. Do the plants you have live for long? it sounds like they die fast, like mine. >.<

Cool! :D and that's good. As I said above, it must be really hard for planting the plants then. What a pain in the neck. XD

For some reason the plants in my tank only last a week before they start dying so ive mostly got realistic fake plants in mine.

Do you have a light to help keep the plants alive? mine do that too, they die within a week. And they start rotting after a few days I've bought them, like discolouring and the like. It's really annoying, I don't know what's making them die so fast.

most plants need 2-3 watts of light per gallon to live so the bigger the tank the more light you need :D
