Hi this is jesssa's sister...My betta is swimming really weird, like leaning to one side when he swims, and its really scaring me. I have a filter, and he lives with 2 cories (one recently died).

Speaking of cories, my cory won't get up off the ground. He has a frayed tail and he will swim up a bit but then drop right back down. I need help ASAP as I need to go to bed...big exam tomorrow.

Firstly what are your levels? (ammonia, nitrate and nitrite)

Without this information we're all abit clueless.

have you changed anything lately?

In the short term I would change 25% of the water and isolate the betta at least until we work out what is going on.

Yes please post test results to rule water quality out first.

hey guys thanks for your concern, i think my little sister [whose post this was] overreacted a little. her boy looked a little bloated to me so in went a mashed pea and here i am 24 hours later looking at a normal swimming happy non-constipated betta. thanks again, lol.
