    Bettas dying

    I'm sorry about your loss. I agree is Zagz, a couple of days of not eating after a move is not unusual. Do you have test kits? (pH, ammonia, nitrite)? What is the temperature?

    Cycling Betta Tank

    I don't think Melafix will help with ammonia poisoning. Get a water conditioner like Amquel which detoxifies ammonia while supposedly allowing the cycle to continue. Good luck, hope your mum's betta is feeling better soon.

    does anyone like painted tetras?

    I don't think that one should support this cruel practice financially. I would be willing to take in a dyed fish in need, but I wouldn't pay money for it. See http://deathbydyeing.org/ for more info.
