Hello Evertbody
(first of all, sorry for my weak english) .. I had my first male Betta(Wingi) less than 1 month ago, i didn't knew anything about bettas so i kept him in a tiny bowl(about 1 litre) ! i used to make daily bowl wash and water change , i'm in Egypt so i think weather is warm enough for him, he was looking happy and active, after i learned about,i got yesterday a bigger bowl(about 7 litr) with natural gravel and plastic plants (that wut i can get right now), i washed all things with poiling water, and filled it with old decholorized tab water and put him in , he seemed to be so curious and spend some time exploring it then he started his wall-dance and swiming up and down till the night, i woke up in the morning and found him staying in corner near the surface with his fins clamped and tail twisted and doesnt move unless he has to, he eats and makes some bubbles
btw, i feed him black ant only(2 or 5 per day), i tried different pellets or flakes and refused them all, and he seems to love ants. worthy to say that i doubted some infection or finrot before(about 2 weeks ago) coz of his grey head and white gill edges, they are noticable only withdirect light (even that's how i brought him from store), i gave him anti-bactrial for 3 days and doesnt change anything, so i stopped worrying (as he was acting so healthy)
it's about 12 hrs with him in this case, and i dunno what to do to help him
here are some photos that may be useful (sorry for bad quality)
