Can anyone help? My Siamese fighter is looking seriously depressed. I thought he was dead this morning but he's not, yet! He has lost all his colour and is hiding at the back of the tank. Would a water change help?

Water conditions? Temp? Tank setup?

Initially, it sounds like either the water is getting bad, or the temp is too low. Bettas tend to sulk when the temp drops below about 76, IME.

too late. Temperature was about 80 F. Don't seem to have much luck with fighters. I did turn the heater down a couple of days ago, as I thought it was too high. Maybe that was it. :sad
