I believe he has passed now.

Its a 5.5 gallon tank, fliter and heater. Last water change was about 2 weeks ago i think? Nothing else in the tank, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0, ph 6.5. I did get him at petco so he might not have been the healthiest...

My betta is very sick. He hasnt eaten in a week or too, he's been very lethargic. Now he's laying sideways on the bottom, sometimes coming up for air, but he's swiming is weird and vertical and he just sinks back down. Is he dying?? He's only about 2 y o. What do i do???

If so, could a school of (small) tetras go in there too? (Also what Cory species is your favorite/ would...

Hi! As I am new to both the forum and the hobby, I thought I should introduce myself! I have one tank so far, a 5.5 gallon tank with one male betta named Iggy. I love having him, and so far he has been nicknamed Iggypop and the Iggyminster (thanks mom +dad) and I sometimes refer to him as my...

Sounds like a good setup! Good luck on your tank!
