Hello,
I have a betta emergency and need help.
I have a blue betta, I will try to include a picture. Over the last week, I noticed him laying on the bottom alot... when I would go over to see him, he would swim up to greet me as always and swm around and eat but would soon after allow himself to sink to the bottom and just lay there..... I noticed that his stomach started to look bloated so I thought he might be blocked up so I gave him some skinned peas for the past 3 days but it has not helped. Perhaps that is not the problem. Last night he seemed even more bloated, his stomach looked bulging!, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
He is 3 years old, in a 10 gallon, heated and filtered - he has been in the 10 gallon for 3 years... I do 50% water changes every month... for 3 years he has been strong and healthy. I feed him a mix of betta pellets, blood worms and betta flakes... I am at my wits end!
I hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Be
I was not able to attach a pic - the pic is too large and I don't know how to edit the size.
