I'm so confused! My betta recently started looking really sickly but I can't figure out what it is. The only thing I can guess is some sort of bacterial or fungal problem but I'm still so confused. :cry: The photo attached are from yesterday morning and the white patches he had there are now gone. The last photo is with me shining a flashlight on him if you couldn't tell. When I woke up this morning he seemed way better but by night his colour faded again and when I fed him it looked like he was having trouble getting food that was near the bottom. I'm so confused what is wrong with him he still eat likes a pig. I just can't find anything that would fit this. Am I just clueless? HELP!
