Sorry to be so bothersome but I am so stressed and confused right now I didn't know what else to do. I just recently bought my Betta, it will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. I recently treated him for ammonia poisoning if you see in my last topic, but then it came back(not as strong but still, I am still trying to get the cycle started but I just decided that my filter is way too strong so first I have to buy a new filter). When I got him he would go to the sides of the tank and push up and down it looked like he was trying to find a way out. his belly started to get swollen and sometimes he would try to swim to the bottom and then just float up. so I thought that it was just Swim-Bladder disease, sometimes though he can swim fine other times not so much. but then I noticed that there were gray patches on his head like he has ripped some of his "skin" off. I wasn't sure if rubbing on the tank was doing this or he had fungus. I noticed he had to rest on the plants to rest a lot and swim on the bottom or top of the water. I also tested the water and the alkalinity and the pH were low. He will flare at the filter for no reason and sometimes will push on the sides of the tank still but not as much. Am I just way too paranoid? Or is this multiple diseases? Please help! Here are some videos I made of him (sorry no pictures my camera doesn't take very good pics.) hope they help. I am still trying to get a master test kit but I have been using the test strip hopefully I will get one on Monday.
