whelp, i did it
i killed 7 out of 9 bettas

at first i was clueless on how i did it, but i know now. i put some flea powder in a vacuum bag (we have fleas) you put it in the bag so the fleas that get vacuumed up die. well, i totally neglected to even think that the powder would actually come out from the vacuum (through the vents, its normal)

so my fish obviously died due to that.
can anyone imagine how awful i feel my belly is sick and i feel like complete crap.


now my question, do i completely clean the tanks? do i throw out the gravel?
two of my fish that lived are in the same tank. that tank housed three bettas. one of the two died. i did a 50% water change, and then at 20% a couple of days later. so of course i am going through a mini cycle now. should i just dump all of that water and throw out the gravel?

do i need to replace all of my filter cartridges also?

thanks for any help guys. i cant belive i did that! and if you knew me you would see why, because i am always paranoid about my fish tanks and making sure everyone is doing great, etc
