This morning when I got up my male betta flared at me (he can be grumpy in the morning if I wake him up when going to bed lol); anyway I was surprised when he “half” flared at me. Sometimes he gives a half-hearted flare and he only sticks his beard out a little bit; however this morning was different. One side was perfectly normal; the other side his cheek was poofed out but not his beard. I couldn’t quite tell if something had happened to it or if it was ‘stuck’ to his cheek. I will look properly when I get home tonight (I tried to this morning but he was too busy flaring at the filter to come and see me).
Any idea what it could be?
Water stats: don’t know; didn’t have time to check before I left for work (I’ll check when I get in).
Tank size: 4.5 gallons
Temperature: high 25 celsius – 27 celsius (it was 26 this morning).
The only thing new in his tank is a sulawesi snail; which I added on Saturday.
Other useful stuff: I did a 100% water change a week and a half ago (his tank is fully cycled; it’s just easier sometimes to do a 100% water change when cleaning the gravel as by the time it’s hovered there isn’t much water left in). Then on Tuesday (2 days ago) I did about a 60% water change (maybe 50% - about half anyway). I’m going to check the tap water tonight as well as one of my girls (separate tank; 30% water change on Tuesday as well) has been showing signs of being unwell as well (no symptoms but loss of appetite and general ‘can’t be bothered-ness’).
I've also added this to the betta section as well (here)
