My fish is sick please help me!

[Eddie44]

Hello, My betta has had a lump on his side now for the last two days, Today it is much larger. He swims active when goes for air but stay's at the bottom for long periods. His tank is 2 1/2 gal water change is done weekly and have added a little salt to it. When I stand in front of he is waiting for food and is eating, Have reduced the amount greatly. Not sure could use some help.

Do a search for "swim bladder disorder" that looks like what the problem is.. I have no experience with that though so I can't really offer any advice.

Hello Jackie, Looked up bladder disorder and started treating him . Thank You for your help, He is my first and only fish I have and very fond of the little guy.

Your welcome :) I hope it helps. I see your in Stockbridge. My brother lives there. I used to live in Jackson, GA and my parents still live there.

Moved here from New Jersey. Have not had a chance to explore all of G.A , Want to visit Savannah been told that the beach is very nice. I'm hopeful that Jaws (My fish ) gets better. You have nice looking fish, Great names...

LOL We moved there from VA almost 6 years ago and I still don't know my way around. Savannah is really nice to visit... but HOT or raining ;). The beach is pretty nice.

Thanks, I like the name Jaws too.. I call my fish that when they're bad and tear up their tails.
