What's wrong with my fish?

I put a heating pad up to my bettas tank before I got a heater, it doesn't looks great, but it works!

I know this may not be reasonable for most betta lovin owners....but to avoid alot of problems .... use Aquafina or any upscale bottled water. Watch for it on sale. It is awesume for Betta's They love it...they become more lively..and their colours become vibrant. No matter what you do to tap water...it can never rival bottled water ... I always change my Betta's (I have two) every 3rd day.... Also for viewing ...nothing beats bottled water...the water appears crystal clear and seems to stay that way for quite some time.. Approx price per week for my 2 Betta's (seperate containers) 5 bucks... a small price to pay for great health... Clean water which is changed frequently is imperative for healthy tropical fish no matter what the set up is.

I've read alot of bad things about using bottled water, I would suggest doing some deep research into that before you do so. I personally will never use bottled water, But to each his own....

And no I don't remember all the details, Have read so much it seems, And it didn't apply to me as I use my own Well water,
