AHH!! My betta is usually the active on in the tank..always chasing the tetra, doing laps around the back of the tank, etc. For the past 3-4 days, he's been sitting in one spot for about 10 minutes, then switching to another spot. He stays hidden all the time though. He also did have a white dot on the top of his head. I put some ick prevention in the tank and the white dot isn't as big, but it is still there. Not only is he lazy and hides, but his body isn't as colorful. There's kind of a light brownish tint to it. What's wrong with this betta? He has a full appetite and i've only had him about 2 years.
 
unfortunatley (except for some exceptions)
betta splendids only live 2-3 years
he could just be an old fart getting slower with age
as long as he is eating and he isn't swollen, prickley, wounded or rotting i wouldn't put too much worry into it
maybe someone else will have an idea of something else it could be but IMO its probably just old age ;)
 
I'll try some stress cost in. I don't want him to get old :-( Guess it has to happen to everything at some time
