No. Beta fish are very sensitive.They die easily because they are extremely suceptible to diseases, and if the temperature of their water is slightly colder than it should be, or if their water is not sanitary- has too much waste (pee or poop) in it- they die. I know this from experience. The same is true with goldfish.

Betta splendens come from the jungles (rain forests) of tropical Asia. They need temperatures between 65F and 80F.

What does it mean if your betta looks like it has fur?

It has fur coat syndrome and will most likely not survive. If it is in an aquarium with other fish (especially fish related to bettas) you should get an antibiotic to treat the water with to prevent the other fish from catching it. It is normally caused by your bettas water getting to cold (below 74 degrees F). Bettas are tropical fish and like to have their water at around 78-80 degrees. Sorry about your betta.
