If it is bacteria, salt should help. But I tried to replace half water and put salt in the past three days, and he seems not get better.

You are right. Just tested the water again. It looks alight. What else can I do for the poor betta? He sleeps more than before and looks a bit hard to balance himself.

I really change 1/3-1/2 water once a week with waste treatment solutions. There are some snails and water plants in the tanks. I clean the tanks and change filter every 3-4 days. I changed the water a lot recently so the water should be all clean now. Does it looks more like swim bladder disease?

After searching more, I kind of feel confirmed it is under the swim bladder disease. The treatment I found on YouTube is to make him fasting three days, change water every day and put aquarium salt, and start to feed a little bit on the fourth day. I was trying to the method I found on Youtube...

I just googled bladder disease. My betta has the similar symptoms of this disease on his body. While I see one other symptom of the disease is being unable to swim upright, it seem he can still swim freely so far. So I don’t know. Still searching.

I do waterchange like once a week. Here are more images (under white light bulb)

Thanks for the reminder. Just tested Nitrite as well. Would such level of Nitrite be a concern to snails?

Just tested the water, seems a bit Nitrate & very slight Ammonia. I don’t feel like it’s dropsy as the it is not like a big part pop up. It’s small and 2 separate parts.

My betta is like 1-2 years old, male, in a 10 gallons tank. He has been with us for almost a year. Water ph and temperature are normal. In the past 2-3 weeks, the body of the betta started to bulge, like 2 parts as marked in the image. He eats as normal, and everything else looks normal, except...

I had this betta since last August. He’s well until he recently got some ich - white dots. But we’ve put some anti-ich drop, increase the tank temperature, and it seems there’s no more white dots on his body. But then after a few days, he’s fin start to become unhealthy, shown as picture. What...

It’s this one

It is sticked with glass and waving. Not really moving around.

Yes, have a bit at the bottom. And the fish had ich last week and we used treatment, not sure if this could be potential related to this issue.
