Hi everyone,
Iām new to owning a betta and he isnāt doing too well. Weāve had him over a month but the last week heās getting worse and worse.
Iāve checked the levels in his water and theyāre fine but Iāve also made sure to do regular water changes incase.
He has been spending more time at the top of the water and now is sideways. He keeps
Resting on the plant leaves. It also looks like he has fin rot from what Iāve researched? Heās got red on his tail and parts missing.
I went and got him anti bacterial and fungus medicine and put it into the tank 3 days ago. He did initially start to look a little better on day one and was no longer side ways (still at the top corner). I did feed him today a few flakes and he has gone side ways again. Could this be swim bladder? What can I do to help him?
I hate to see him suffering but donāt know what I can do to help. The treatment said to leave him for 7 days and then add more treatment if needed.
Is there anything else I can do? I worry if I wait the full 7 days he wonāt make it.
We live in the UK.
