Cody's REALLY sick!!
I don't get it!!! He has been bloated for weeks, I've fasted him for 3 days at a time and given him one pellet on the third day. He bloats right up again and starts floating to the top of the water!!! Now, he is on his side, breathing heavily. I believe this is SBD.
Also, he has started tail biting. Like, bad. Most of his tail is gone and his pectoral fin has a bite out of it with red dots (I assume it is blood).
I don't know what to do! I none of my other fish are sick, and they get the exact same thing as he does!! He has had 0 changes in his environment since 2 months ago (or longer).
The only thing I can think of is it could be parasites, although I don't know how he got it. He is a petstore betta, so that could be it. If so, how do I treat them??
Environment:
3 gallon tank
stable 79 degrees F
White, delta male
He was fine up until a few weeks ago
Water Changes: 100% saturdays 75% wednesdays
feeding: used to be 3 pellets per day
now it is 1 pellet every 3 days (because he bloats everytime i give him food) (what should I be feeding him now? because I don't know how to handle bloating. if he bloats, should I still feed him anyways?)
