[Liquid skills]

He does looks pretty bloated.
Are his scales sticking out like a pine cone shape??

He's taken a turn for the worst. He's lost all his color on his body. He looks pale almost white. Not good. No food in 5 days now. Would it be cruel to flush him before he goes belly up. I can't bare to watch him suffer anymore. That's it for me after this. Fish were not meant for me. I'll stick with my cat, alot less trouble to take care of.

DO NOT FLUSH HIM!!!!
In my opinion that is the most cruellest thing anyone can do!!
He wont die straight away, so so cruel.

Plus he is a pet right?? would you flush your cat if it wasn't looking all that well??

Fish are not hard to take care of, especially 1 betta in a tank, you just need the right equipment to be able to look after them

Alright I won't flush him I'll let him die in his tank. But I'm NOT getting another one. You say it's easy to care for em but obviously I can't. So no more fish for me. I can't bare to lose another one. Thanks for all ur advice.
