Betta Help Needed
Hi All
Cayenne my male veiltail is having a few problems. Well the first problem is i dont know how old he is or was when i got him from the LFS so could be old age creeping in. He has started being less active than when i first got him, His vibrant red colour has changed to a more dullish browny/red colour and what seems to be wierd is when i feed him he usually gulps it up but over the past few days he seems either uninterested or he seems like he cant see it??? He is looking a little thinner than he was (i always feed him the right amount) He is spending more time at the bottom of the tank 'resting'. He doesnt even seem to be flaring as much. all my tank parameters are fine. I am at a loss as to what is wrong with him. could he just be getting old :-( |

Re: Betta Help Needed
Yes sounds like he is getting up in the age department.Have you tried to feed him live food?My old timers will eat live pretty happily.Does he have any live plants to rest on?and what temp are you keeping him at?

Re: Betta Help Needed
I am sorry to hear that I used to have a betta that I still miss. Anyways the day before he died he showed the same problem. He was about 2 years old. Anyways it could be a disease is he showing any other signs. Also if you can it would help to see pictures.

Re: Betta Help Needed
I have tried feeding him with live and pellet i get the same response to both, he does have live plants to rest on, water temp is 84 all water parameters are fine. There are no signs of disease or bloating that I can see as i said he has gone a bit thinner if anything :-(
