    Today my betta was resting fully vertical against the tank thermometer. He was still high energy and swam up to me but for the first time when I fed him, he struggled to eat and couldn't get the bloodworm down. He would chomp and thrash at the worm but couldn't get it to stay in his mouth. This...

    Hi, I just brought my female betta, Jade, back from a fish-sitter. When I put her back in her tank I noticed a big lump on her side and I‘m not sure what’s causing it. I’m guessing it’s constipation and not swim bladder because she‘s not having any trouble swimming.

    Hi Friends! I have a two-year-old Betta fish who has started to get these bumps. They started small and have grown. They make it hard for him to swim. He has one on one side and two on the other. I have included pictures. If anyone knows what they are or how to help, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

    My betta, Ponce, is around 2 and a half years old. I got him from a Petco, so he could be older, but I've had him for years. The past month or so, he just lays around the bottom of the tank, completely still. Before, he would do this but then swim up to get food, and now I haven't seen him eat...

    Hello everyone! My betta Jonathan is not doing very well and I believe he has swim bladder. His tank is at the correct temperature and his water information seems to all be correct. He has trouble staying buoyant and will just lay on the bottom of the tank and stay there. If he swims up, he just...

    I can't post a video but this is Cleetus. We have had him about a year now. He's always been rather lethargic but recently worryingly so. He lays on his side gasping all day and can't swim properly. He is bloated but even when I fast him he still is the same. I have tried swim bladder...
