[Bettanewbie60]

He looks really clamped up...do you have a thermometer? You need to know the temp of the water. How often are you changing the water, and do you use water conditioner?

[ThugLifeWithMahFish]

therm no.
and i change the water once a week with the conditioner. i have a feeling its the water when i had betta fish back in the day i was raising them in the Domincan Republic...im in new jersey now.

It may just be the temperature...Walmart has a cheap thermometer you can buy, and he needs a couple plants to hide in too...they like decorations.

my girlfriend told me tht and wat temp do they have to be in?

[Bettanewbie60]

The temp should be between 75 and 80...most thermometers have a green strip on them where it shows safe temperatures. What kind of food are you feeding him? They do better on pellets rather than flakes..and it keeps the water cleaner.

[Bettanewbie60]

Oh, and with a bowl like the one you have...you should change the water two times a week, one time 50% and one time 100%..that way he won't get sick.
