Hey everyone,
I haven't been on here in a while because I've been so busy.
My betta, Bud, isn't looking very good...earlier today he appeared to be caught in
the plants that are floating at the top of his tank. So I gently freed him from them and as soon as he got out he kind of fell to the bottom of the tank, struggling to swim.
He seemed to fall sideways. Since this morning (its 1:32 am here) he has been sitting on the bottom of the tank sideways, breathing heavily.
He's in a 5 gallon and I moved him into there when I came home for winter break last Friday. Since then he's been happy as can be. I've had him since late last September so I assume he's a year and a half or so? I got him from Petco.
Anyone have any ideas on whats wrong? It looks as though hes on his last leg
I wasn't sure if I should try to put him in a smaller container so he can access air easier or if I should leave him be and not stress him out. There are no signs of any illnesses either.
Thanks guys
