3 months ago I went to petco and I bought a veiltail male, I thought he was fine until I started reading about all these different types Of diseases, I don't know if he's bloated, or if he has swim bladder disorder, and I don't know if he has fin rot. I was checking on him and he was swimming along, lalalalaa, and then out of nowhere he fell sideways on the cone shell decoration, he looked as if he was stunned and he drifted down sideways his head was completely sideways, I thought he was dying but then he went bezerk. , it seemed like he was trying to break the tank, he went spastic or spasmic and he did that for about 10 seconds, i know he went spastic but i dont know why he went sideways, then he went back to normal, he swam fine and he didnt have any trouble staying upright. and he wasn't swimming irregularly. Then later his back, the fin back area began to go up and his head area went. down. Like if he was trying to swim down but his " bladder" won't let him, after that, he SWAM PERFECTLY, he was a normal Betta and he had no trouble swimming. I'm scared, I don't know if he's sick or not I DON'T HAVE A DIAGNOSIS FOR HIM SO I CAN'T GIVE THE RIGHT MEDICINE TO HIM, he should have a long peaceful life, I don't wanna be the reason why he passes away, PLEASE HELP!!!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION
