Aquarium Advice Freak
I don't know my tank specs.
Its a 5 gallon with fluval filter.
I've had this Betta for about a year now. Originally saved him from Wallmart... and he is an awesome fish but I feel like he is nearing the end of his life way too soon... He cant swim properly, he floats to the surface and has to really try hard to swim down and when he does he hides under something so he wont float up. He wasn't always like this. His body is starting to look a tad bit crooked. And he is bloated... I've stopped the feeding for several days off and on, I only feed one or two pellets a day max, or one blood worm, and I've tried feeding him the inside of peas... None of that is working. Let me know if I need to post pictures.
I'm at a loss here. Any thoughts? Is there some medicine I should give him? Aquarium salt? Anything? Or is it just a matter of time?
