I think my betta's doing worse...

I had a thread in here about my betta's not eating well one is eating a bit and the other one still isnt and now latly he jus seems to be sitting under a big leaf at the bottom of the tank not moving... I woke up this morning and he was doing the same thing but on his side but as soon as i opened his lid he got up and swam around for like 5 sec and went back under the leaf and motionless again.. What could be wrong with him? Or could he jus be a lazy ass and be sleeping all the time? lol

I am having a similar problem with my betta. Unfortunatly I think mine won't make it.

Is he loosing color at all? Hope someone answers and your betta is ok.

What do you mean by his fins clamped wuv? Do you mean are the close to his body? If that is what you meant yea they are....

OMG! Im so sorry shadow!

Sorry Shadow.Losing color is internal parasites.

Yes aj, clamped means his fins are tightly pressed together, not spread open and relaxed. Do you see any blood or red streaks anywhere?

Thanks. He was hiding the past 2 days and just lost color today. I also lost a mollie today. I don't know what happened to her....just stopped eating after the fry were born.

Nope not seeing any of that... Every time i open the lid he comes out from under his leaf and swims out then to the top get some air and goes back under the leaf again
