I just got Rudy yesterday from Petsmart. At the store I did notice that the fish in the tanks along the wall that alot of them were dead, none of the Bettas were but the cups they are housed in were dirty. When I got home with Rudy and taking a closer look , I noticed his cup was very cloudy, a thick cloudiness and had several droppings (#2) in it, and had a strong odor more funkier than normal. Once I had him acclimated to his new tank water, he swam around staying to one side of the tank. I thought he was just nervous and scared and I wasnt helping just staring at him waiting for him to relax so I left the room, when I came back 30 mins. later, he was floating at the top corner by the side of the filter upside down (head down towards the bottom of the tank and tail up towards the top of the tank). He remained this way I assume all night because this morning he was in the same area and position. He has moved to the other side of the tank and was floating normally for the last hour but has gone back to floating upside down.His scales are sticking out and he has a few holes in some areas of his fins plus he has not eaten anything I but in the tank for him. Any help of what is wrong with Rudy is greatly appreciated and needed, I'm new to the fish world so I need all the help I can get, Thanks.
