Help Please!

One of my males has been acting funny lately. He'll like spazz, swimming really wildly up and down and in circles. Hes not in sight of another male and hes not flaring. So he'll, swim wildly, shake his body, he'll even swim to the surface and shakes his fins above the water. Then all of a sudden he'll stop and just hang at the top with his head up higher then the rest of his body. I've checked him over, he has nothing on him, hes eating normal and everything, going to the bathroom. But hes never acted like this before, so I'm not sure what to do

sounds almost like it could be seizures or something...

odd, i just witnessed mine do the same thing. Mine is old, very old, and has been quite lethargic. I had to move him from his 5 gallon to a bowl so he can reach the surface. Judging by the really ####ty night i am having, I don't think he will make it the night. What else can go wrong

Does it seem like he's scratching himself against stuff???

 

[BettaBum873]

A bit yes. I think he may have velvet
