I have an unhealthy Betta ( I believe). He is in a 10G tank with several mates; a small school of Neons, a couple Corys and a Pleco. He has been doing well, as have the rest of the fish, even after surviving the tank cycleing. The tank parameters are excellent and I just finished a 20 percent water change. I do that about once a week. He has always been a great eater and never gets picked on by his tank mates. Just today I noticed that he was extremely thin. When he bends his body to turn, he looks like hes almost completely flat in the middle as if hes been pinched. He ate when I fed him (Wardley Premium Betta Food) and he doesnt seem to be acting unusually strange. These pics dont do him justice....if you look at him in person you could swear his sides were touching each other inside. He does have a bit of gray coloring around his face, but he always has since I brought him home. Im not sure what hes got going on at this point. His fins look ok and he eats. Any iedas?
One question I had was regarding food. I had a couple of my Betta on flake food and it took a week or more before they would even touch the Betta food. Now, they wont touch anything BUT the Betta food. Those little pellets are hard as a rock but they gulp them right up. Is there something better I should be feeding them?
