I have a Q and this happened to my friends red VT,He had done a water change in his one gal,which he does every other day,has heater and feeds betta variety diet.When the betta went back in to the water his whole body turned white and he started swimming like crazy!My friend hurryed and took him out,as soon as he was out of the water he changed back to his normal color! Any idea what could have happened.he doesn't have a computer so I told him I would ask!

did he condition the water? or was the water a different temperature than what it was at before the cleaning? sounds like he went into shock
