Over the past month I have lost 4 of my bettas, 2 males and 2 females.
I now have 3 that arent so clever
First of all Bumble
About 3, maybe 4 weeks ago I found him lying on the bottom of tank breathing quite heavily. I removed him to a shallow hospital tank where he just lay on his side.
He is still in the tank now, he lays there all day, wiggles to the surface for air, eats fine, then lays back down.
He has no obvious signs of any illness.
His fins are beginning to look a little tatty but I cant see how this is affecting him.
Could he have hurt his back??

About 3 days ago she was acting different and laying on the bottom alot. She is now in a hospital tank.
She is clamped up and her insides look kinda dark than they usually do. one of her side fins seems red and 'different' compared to the other, tried to get it in the picture but it cant be seen.
She has always had issues with swim bladder, on and off, but nothing recently.
She has no signs of fungus after a meth blue bath.

He was also acting quiet and off his food about 3 days ago. 1 morning I thought he was dead he looked that bad.
Moved him to a hospital tank and didnt expect him to make it. 3 days later and he is still with me but looks dreadful.
He lost all of his colour, although that is back a bit now, his fins look terrible (just over the passed few days). His fins never ever grew back to their 'full' after he suffered bad fin rot, but that was about 5 months ago.
He just 'sits' there, swims up for air and sits again.
He will swim when im there as he comes to see me.
every morning and night I expect him to be gone but he is still hanging on.
All water paraments are fine, been testing them daily with these problems, and also been given frequent water changes.
4 more of my females are slightly clampled up with thier tails.
All the other males are fine, no signs of any illness what so ever.
HELP!!!!
