His appetite is fine and water temp stays at 72 but every now and then i find him completely vertical. Once he sees me hd a ts fine but then he goes back to this. Any suggestions?

That does seem odd. try isolating him and treating with 1 tsp/gal of epsom salt for 7-10 days.

also, try slowly raising the temperature to 76-78 over a few days if you can.

Thanks. Ive got him in an isolation tank already with a tad bit of salt. Guess I'll wait and see. :{

Well I quartined him for awhile and he seemed to be better so I put him back in the tank but he got worse again so I pulled him out and he's doing better again. So he is on a pea diet and Im going to do a big water change in his other tank.

A lot of the members on here don't suggest Pea diets. How long did you QT him for the first time before adding him back to the tank?

 

[Tomo]

About a week. I was suspicious of constipation so I've been feeding him peas. It seems to have helped, but don't worry it's not permanent.

IDk some people were saying that bettas cant handle peas its not good for them. I heard Daphina helps with constipation.
