Nah hes not old at all. I just did a full change on his tank. Stressed poor guy out even more. Hes just laying there.

My betta Bleeker just died yesterday :'( he was my buddy at school and his last couple days he was like literally going crazy. In the middle of the night he was flipping out in his tank splashing water every where and in the morning I went in to check on him and he kept swimming to the top of the water breathing in the air over and over and then falling to the bottom laying down breathing really hard. He's been healthy and I had just changed his water the day or so before but he was just acting strange and I had a feeling he wasn't going to last much longer...and sure enough when I came back from a graduation party last night he was laying at the bottom of the tank in his little yellow plant gone. Obviously I was pretty upset about it he was my buddy at school and now he's gone. It really bothers me that I had no idea what was wrong with him...so I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Um..not sure...maybe ammonia or nitrite poisoning. Sorry about your fishy.

Elvis is just hanging at the bottom. Has absolutely no energy to even swim to the top for air. Its not far to the top at all,but he cant even do that. He cant stay straight. :(
