[vance1013]

Hello i am currently dealing with a case of ich i have the temp up to 86°f been doing water changes every 3 days started treatment last thursday well i noticed last night and this morning my betta isnt acting normally he seems to be resting more often is it the high temp or the ich running its course?



Sorry for the bad pic best i could do with my phone

Could be both, the ich and the temperature.
Maybe add an airstone to increase oxygen levels in the tank. Remember that higher temperature means less oxygen in the water column.

Keep and eye on him.

Should i lower the water a little to have a waterfall effect from the filter as well

Bettas are labyrinth breathers meaning they breathe from the surface. He's not lacking oxygen unless your tank is completely covered up tight. Just make sure there's an opening on the lid that allows for fresh air

I did know that thank you and he has plenty of room to breath
