I just found my female betta, Millie, passed away in her 5 gallon heated, filtered tank this morning. Yesterday she had what looked like a fungus patch on her head so I did a 100% water change, cleaned all the rocks, filter and heater off really good because I've been having algae problems really bad (I only keep the tank light on around 8 hours a day). When I placed her back in the tank last night she was swimming around like crazy acting normal. She was taking a lot of breaths though at the surface. And this morning I found her wedged between the filter and heater. The fungus patch is gone, but one of her gills is really inflamed and red. Does anybody have any opinions on how she died? Was it my fault? I'm really upset. =(
