What happened to my beta fish?

Ｉwas cleaning out the tank and I put my beta in another cup... I was going to let it sit in that other cup for a day while the chlorine dissipated but it jumped out (I don't know how). I put it back in the bowl..so an hour went by and he stopped...

swimming. His left eye turned red.. he grew a film over his body.. and died. I want to know what happened to him so I don't make that mistake again

thanks: jeff

well it may have clamed some dirt or something and it might have gone in to shock

clamed some dirt? what do you mean

well you might not have cleaned the bowl all the way. or the chlorine wasn't all the way disolved into the water and he got sick.

he might have hit his eye on something and or the tank water didn't disolve yet.

Did you clean out your tank after the clhorine in it? Cause if you didn't and then you stuck your fish in, you're supposed to clean it first and I don't think you're supposed to clean a fish tank with chlorine.

No wonder he died, = he commited suicide because he knew what a horrible death it would be to die in chlorine! NEVER use chlorine to clean fish habitats
