It all started about 2 weeks ago. This may be unrelated, but I started getting lots of Diatoms in an established tank (3 months?)
About a week ago, Bob's appetite started going out the window.
2 Days ago, he started getting some discoloring under his chest.
Today, the discoloring has spread to his sides, his scales stared standing up, and he is slightly bloated. (not a bad as this guy though...My betta with dropsy after 3 months - YouTube), but he has a tough time fitting between his heater and the tank wall now.
He swims ok, still upright. He has been sitting on the bottom of his tank a lot though, although not always.
I moved him to a bowl for now, going to get some aquarium salt in the AM and will try to feed him a pea.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
