lethargic betta

This is my sister's betta that I am trying to help. It is currently in a 1/2 gallon quarantine tank with an airstone and a heater at about 79-80F. I don't have information on the tank conditions previous to me getting the fish. I know it was in a 2 gallon tank with a filter but no heater. The...

Damon (HM Betta) hasn't been eating much at all and I believe it is stress related. Can stress cause illness in bettas? I have him in a divided 10 gallon tank with another betta bought the same day at the same store. The other fish Stefan is doing amazing so I really hope there's no illness he...

My Betta Fish (Halfmoon) just spends all his time on the bottom of the tank lethargic. The tank is fully cycled, heated (25oC) and filtered. It is a 5 gallon tank and gets regular 20% water change. His tank mates are 2 ghost shrimps and there is 3 large Marimo moss balls in the tank and that's...

Tank summary: **Tank** Image of water test as of 09-24-17. My nitrate levels were about 40-80ppm last wednesday. I did a 50% water change to bring them down to where they are now. I've been checking them to make sure they haven't shot up at all. I have a 10 gal tank, 0/0/10-20ppm...

Hi! I don't know where else to post this and all of my internet searches have come up with very little helpful information, so I'm hoping I may get some answers here. I have a betta fish and I am concerned if he is sick or not - Friday when I got home from work, the heater in his tank had...

First off, I've never posted here before, so apologies if I mess this up! Please let me know if I should be posting somewhere else/did this incorrectly. I have a betta (named Kylo) that I got from Petco back in June. He's usually very active, swimming around his tank and eating 3-4 pellets a...

I bought my betta fish from Walmart in February. He has been doing really good until this past week. He stays at the top and doesn't swim down, he barely moves. Now his fins are turning white. He has a heater and an air stone thing. I use a conditioner when changing his water. I need help I...

Alphonsis is quite old so I tend to lean on the side of caution with him. I get nervous when possible health issues arise and I'm wondering if I should take action at this point. I usually cyphon his poops out of his substrate every couple days and I've noticed that he's not pooping anymore. I...

I got a new betta in the mail and as soon as i got him he was very excited to get out of his bag but now he's just floating in his 5 gallon tank. I have circulation in there and i fed him as soon as he got out. Do you think there's something wrong???????:-?

Hi guys, Im a bit worried about my betta Ace. He has been exhibiting unusually low activity and not eating much and is starting to lose his vibrant colors. He hides out in the top corner of my tank or bottom corner for the last few weeks and stays there for hours! He used to swim around and...

I got my crowntail male betta fish about 3 weeks ago from Petco. Ever since after the first day, he looked extremely bloated from gulping air and hyperventilating - which he kept doing since I put him in my new tank. I thought it was maybe from the stress of the transport from the store to my...

So I received a male halfmoon betta but his fins are in horrible condition and it seems as if he's not getting any better. I've kept him in quarantine forever. About a few months now but he's very lethargic and doesn't move. He also clamps his fins a lot. ): I've kept his 2.5 quarantine tank...

So, Caroline lately has been lying on her side at the surface of her tank and she lies on her leaf hammock a lot. She seems lazy and could possibly be losing colour. I always catch her running into things into her tank but she like will touch something, then speed away, then repeat. It's weird...

Hey everyone, thanks for all the responses for all my prior questions, I'm sorry I ask so often, it's just that I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing for my bettas. This question though is for one of my favorites, Greg. He's a crowntail dragonscale, and I think a friend of mine was told...

Hello, My fish has suddenly been acting very lethargic and I am concerned. He is a bit old, I bought him from a pet smart three years ago (he already had a long "beard" then). I originally did not know proper Berta care and kept him in a bowl, so he had some fin rot for the first few months I...

I've Never had a sick Betta before so this is really freaking me out!:shock: Last night I noticed Cottonpuff was a bit lethargic, and hanging out at the bottom in the rocks. This is SEVERELY unusual for him, since he is a Betta that never likes to rest unless on his plant. His normal behavior is...
