I just finished treating Buddy (my betta) for velvet. I did the whole treatment and left it for another day before putting the filter cartridge back in. I had left the filter going empty because it's one of his "toys". Now that the medication is being filtered out mostly and all the fun is done, he's a little on the lethargic side. He just now started patrolling his kingdom again, but he doesn't have the spunkiness he did before I saw the velvet. I don't know how he got it, I take good care of my tank, I do everything I researched to do, but he got it and I caught it and treated it. The snail, Energizer, is perfectly fine. Buddy is slowly coming back, but he's still not as active, doesn't wanna eat as much, and is hiding almost all the time when he's not eating. He inspects the snail frequently but is very afraid of the feelers. He avoids those. Is this normal, or is it an internal thing I haven't heard of before, or did I screw up massively?
