betta still not eating.

[jacblades]

that doesnt sound good. i recently had a betta die who was acting the same way. i actually got him to eat one frozen bloodworm every other day or so. bettamax didnt seem to help him so then i tried using indian almond leaf in his water instead. he started doing better and actually started swimming around some and i thought he was on the way to recovery but he died suddenly the other day. i also suspected it mioght be internal parasites of some kind but he wouldnt eat the medicated food.
sorry to discourage you though. yuor guy might pull through. he looks healthier than mine did. just be diligent (and gentle) with the water changes. keep him in a non-decorated tank (take out all of the gravel/ decorations). i would keep him out of direct sunlight too.
good luck!

Sounds familliar I have lost three betta with the same simptoms and I'm about to loose a fourth. Have you noticed any fin loss? On two of my girls they lost a bit of their anal fins.

No fin loss. Other than not eating, being lazy, and swollen stomach, he looks healty as a, well, fish.

I put Sam in a bowl of BettaMax and he seems to be doing better than he was.
He is swimming more and he ate for the first time in a week. Maybe you should try it.

I put some bettamax in his tank yesterday. I'm hopeing it works, but he is worse today than yesterday.

Is there any discoloration around his gills, or is he only using one of his pectoral fins? I've been dealing with something calle dgil disease, it's not too much fun. I lost three fish in one night and they really did not have any symptoms til it was too late. Sam has the same thing but he is tough and is hanging on. I've noticed a big improvement in just a couple of hours! Good luck with your fish.

Heres a question for you all, when your using the bettaMAX do bubbles collect on your fish where he's injured?

Good bye Glory. You will be missed.
