Hi hexsukz, sorry that your betta isn't feeling well. Do you think you could answer the following questions in detail? This would really help in figuring out what might be wrong. Thanks.
How long have you had your fish?
Have you made any changes recently – tank size, food, water source, conditioners, etc?
What size is the tank and is it filtered? Is it cycled?
What are the pH and ammonia levels? Nitrite & Nitrate? KH & GH? Do you regularly monitor these levels? If you don't have test kits for these, many pet stores will do it for free.
Note: When reporting chemical test results, don't just say levels are "normal" or "fine." Please give actual numbers. Without numbers, a test result is useless.
How often do you change the water and what water conditioners/additives do you use?
What is the water temperature on a daily basis?
Does he (or she) have any tank mates?
What do you feed your fish, how much, and how often?
Are you currently using any medication?
Describe your fish’s symptoms and your concerns. How long have they been present and have the symptoms changed?
Additionally, any other information that you think would be helpful for members.
