Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My betta is dying. I don't think he has much time. The past week I've noticed him spending a lot more time laying at the bottom but he would still get excited whenever I got close to the tank. But now just overnight he has lost all of his color and is barely moving around.
I keep him in a 3 gallon aquafarm. So the plants on top are the filter. I've had him in there since December and it's fully cycled. I just tested the water and my ph is at 7.6 ammonia 0 nitrites 0 and maybe a small hint of nitrates. GH and KH are at 3. Temperature stays at 76.
Last water change was on Tuesday and I also added a silk plant. That is about when he started showing symptoms but I rinsed the plant well and got it from Petco. Could that have caused this?
Or is he just old? I got him last summer.
Anybody have any ideas? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
