Fish dead...?

[FlareBettaGuy]

I was changing the water, and I was pouring the water in. The stream of water hit him several times, and he was swimming around lopsided. Then, he did a series of clumsy flips in the water, then landing upside down on the bottom of his bowl. He burst quickly back up, but then slowly fell back down again on his side. He tried many times, as if trying to survive, but he did not appear to have any energy at all. He then landed on his side again, nothing moving but his gills. Now, he isn't moving at all. He is on the bottom of the bowl, head touching the ground, and tail in the air. Could he have swallowed a pebble or something? Could he have been shocked by the water hitting him several times? I don't know. All I know is, he's problebly dead. If you have any opinion to why he is dead, or if he is dead or not, please tell me...until then, i'll be sitting in my chair, mourning.

Oh, and he's a betta.

Is his gills still moving? If not, I'm sorry to tell u mayb he's preparing himself to the other world soon

There'll be a lot of reasons. But do u find his behaviour getting weird b4 the water change? Any physical signs? Did he eat fine b4?

U've used water conditioner for the water right? He should have no problem to get "hit" by the water tho... Is the water too cold? (from ur previous posts, I figured out there's no heater for him).

WAAAHHH! It's so horrible. His whole face is black, and his body is pale. I guess he really is dead. Yes, the water was cold. But that's why I changed it. And then....boom. He got hit. I fed him just before I changed the water. He ate fine.

Sorry about your fish. It could have been concussion. Still, we live and learn.
