Are you sure the other fish are healthy? Are you sure the other fish aren't bothering him?

I've heard of that before.. Had him in a 10 gal previously which he's in now.. the other fish he was with were completely healthy and they didn't bother him.

Bump.. got him in the 10 gal and still isn't looking too good. should I add anything? I don't have any leaves.

20 gallon should be cycled :/ maybe some other nasties got in there... try upping the temp in the 10 gal too...

What I would do** is put him in a one or 2 gallon container ("hospital tank") and add some aquarium salt. Instructions on the salt container say half teaspon per gallon. It's like giving a sick child pedialyte

If he looks a little better after a day or 2 put him back in the 10. If not, do a water change.....then you might need to try some other fish meds. No one likes the one I used so I hope someone will come along and suggest a good one.

**I've only treated one sick betta in my betta career so far. I did a good job because he revived in 2 days and is super healthy now.

Atleast I could say I tried. He meant alot to me, he was different than the other bettas I've ever had.

So sorry for your loss! At least you know you were taking really good care of him and he probably had a better life than most bettas get :)

You can use Catappa Leaves (Indian Almond Leavs) becuse have many benefits.
- Relieve betta stress
- Make water sofer (Lower pH) that suitable evironment for betta.
