    Sick Betta ... constipated or bloat?

    He stopped eating and the swelling has gotten worse. He can no longer control himself while swimming and keeps diving head first into objects in the tank. Ive made the decision to let him go today. I dont want him to suffer any longer.

    :ermm: Is this normal for a Neon Tetra?

    :ermm: So I'm new to the hobby and I saw one of my neons swim all the way to the top of the tank and slap the water at the top with his body and then swim back down. I watched them after this for an hour and they are acting normal now. No flashing or spots.... it was just odd. I've seen them do...
