Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed?Has trouble swimming down her tail just keeps going up. She tried to go into a cave and it took a lot of work. Appears to be a little bloated or eggy.
How has your betta fish's behavior changed? No not really
When did you start noticing the symptoms? Now
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how? no
Does your fish have any history of being ill? no
How old is your fish (approximately)? I have had her 2 years
I just put her back in as today was 100% water changing day. This is the first I have noticed it. She appeared to eat just fine as I also just fed her. Acclimated her as usual. Could she be eggy? I had her next to one of my males tanks. I don't normally do that. He totally ignored her though. It doesn't seem normal as I keep another female in a divided 10g with two other boys so I am thinking that isn't the problem.
