Hello all. I joined the forums because I have a sick betta on my hands and cannot make him better.
I've had him for about a month. He was only eating blood worms until last week when I finally found a pellet he will eat (northfin)
Unfortunately I have been over feeding him. About 6 1 mm pellets 2x a day for a week. Now he cannot sink. He is active and begs for food still.
I have fasted him for 3 days and fed peas. But he is not improving at all.
I'm getting worried and really miss his normal activities. This is been going on for 5 days so far.
He is in a 5.5 gal tank. Heated to 80 degrees. Treated with prime, vita chem, and tetra safe start. I was using aquarium salt but have recently stoped that. I have a tetra i3 filter with the media replaced with bio max.
I do weekly gravel vacs of 2.5 to 3 gals each week when the NH3 is 0.25.
I just don't know how to make him better and am getting scared.
Any help is appreciated. Please and Thank you.
