Update on my Betta fish dying

[a_nc_female]

This is strange, for the last hour, Occupant (that is his name) has been hanging out on top of the bowl, very mellow, like normal. Does anyone know what could be happening or what happened? Is it normal for Betta fish to do that? Thanks

First off, you only need 1 thread on this subject.

Second, we need to know your tank specs. How many gallons is it, do you use a filter and a heater, what temp. is your water, are there any other fish in the tank with him, what levels are the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, is the tank cycled, do you have a testing kit, do you do water changes, if so, how often? It sounds like a lot, but we need to know all of this before we can help.
