Hi all, I got a Betta Fish yesterday and he was swimming around a little yesterday and earlier on today but now heā€™s just placing himself in between the glass of is tank and his heater. My last Betta did this and he died after having him for only 5 days so Iā€™m quite worried. Advice much appreciated thanks!!
 
Can you please answer the following questions.

How big is the tank?
Has it got a heater? What is it set to?
Has it got a filter?
How strong is the current?
Is it cycled?
How often do you change water?
How much water do you change?
Do you vacuum the substrate?
What additives or chemicals do you use? Eg De Chlorinator?
Do you use tap or bottled water? If bottled water please give us the brand.
Do you have a water test kit?
Can you tell us the readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?
When you clean the tank can you tell us exactly what you do.
What do you feed him? how much? how often?
Any tank mates? What sort how many?
Any plants or decorations? Please give details?
Can you provide a close up photo of the fish?
Can you provide a photo of the tank?
 
Can you post a picture of the tank? Also, what size is the tank, is it filtered, and did you cycle it before adding the betta?

Sorry photos wonā€™t upload for some reason. Itā€™s 2.5 gallons, filtered and cycled before adding fish.

The tank is 2.5 gallons
It has a heater set a 25 degrees Celsius (thermometer reads 25 as well)
It has a filter with low current
It is cycled
I change water once a week using a water vacuum (Iā€™m not too sure what itā€™s real name is, siphon type thing)
I use betta water conditioner as well as stress coat (relieves stress)
I use tap water however we have rain water so it isnā€™t chlorinated
I donā€™t have a test kit but take water samples into a pet shop who does tests and they are all at 0, got this tested yesterday.
To clean the tank I use my water vacuum to take out 20% of the water and rinse filter cartridge in tank water I removed then refill what I took out with our tap water and add betta water conditioner
I feed him Betta pellets twice a day, morning and night, only a little bit as Iā€™m aware of over feeding
No tank mates
I have a betta bed/hammock and a small artificial plant
And unfortunately I am unable to upload photos sorry, thanks for the help
 
He is being more active today and swimming around. Goes to the heater a little bit still but I think itā€™s just too rest. I guess he was just settling in. Thanks for your help!!
