How has your betta fish's appearance changed?
[sharedmedia=core:attachments:76056]
How has your betta fish's behavior changed?
Very lethargic, stays mainly at the bottom of the tank, only swims up for air, not eating.
When did you start noticing the symptoms? The fins about a week ago, the other symptoms only within the last day or two.
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how? Moved to 1.7 gallon tank separated from ADF's, treating water with API Pimafix for fungal infection.
Does your fish have any history of being ill? No.
How old is your fish (approximately)? Have had him for 3-4 weeks.
I don't know what else to do. I had narrowed it down to fin biting and tried everything to stop it. Finally decided to separate him for a while to see if that helps but he seems to be getting worse. So far the Pimafix doesn't seem to be doing anything though I only started it yesterday. Is there something else I should be using? I can't figure out what exactly is wrong with him.
