Poorly Betta

[lilmich]

Hey, found Jasmine was like this on Saturday, and appears to be feeling sorry for himself. Eats, but not with his normal gusto. Any ideas what's wromg with him? Was in a 38L with a new filter at the time, but is now in a 21L, and no apparent improvement. Ammonia .25, nitrate + nitrite 0, pH 7.6. Weather was very hot here (for britiain) fri to mon.

Did you cycle the new tank before moving him over?

I think you're asking about the 21L, which has had fish in constantly since 21st July. The 38L was our oldest tank and pump. It broke with him in it a full week before this problem. I did a 80%ish water change that night and the following morning. New pump arrived that lunch time, then did 50% every other day without any probs until I saw this tail issue.

His only companions are snails

It might be the ammonia try doing a water change. Also he looks bloated, perhaps feed him a pea.

Cooked? He's lost width and condition on tha back half of his body.
