One of my bettas has been acting strange the past few days. He is extremely lathargic, and has lost some of his color. All he does is "sit" at the top of the water, with his nose stuck in a corner, all day. I even put another betta beside him so he could get some exercise, and he didn't even attempt to flare. The other betta went wild, but he just sat there, staring at him.
He has shown signs today that make me think it might be his swim bladder. He has struggled two times this morning to swim down, but it's too hard for him. He puts all his power into it, but I don't think he made it to the bottom either time (he is only in a 1G).
Any ideas what is wrong, and what treatment I should use? There are no physical signs of illness other than he is a bit paler, and seems to not be able to swim down.
