My Female betta fish wont eat and just lays at the bottom of her bowl. She has a swollen stomach and it almost looks as if her spine is coming out sort of like its a hunch. There are some peach/ silver patches on her stomach that aren't that big. She hasn't eaten for at least a month or too. At first when she started bloating up I thought she may have swim bladder disease so i tried to feed her peas but she wouldn't eat them. This morning i found a thin white film covering the water in her bowl i took it out but i'm not sure what it is. I have considered putting her to sleep and if that seams like the best option could you please suggest the best way to do it.
