Thank you for the advice. I will plan accordingly.

Yes, it was pretty gross :/ I feel bad for the guy. I bought him to even out the ratio with my mollies (two females), but... Well, do you know if this could affect my other fish at all?

Okay, so, I'm starting to feel like a god-awful fish owner because all of my posts are about unhealthy fish.... Well, I left for the weekend to spend time with my boyfriend who lives across the state. I left my roommate in charge of feeding them because in general, they aren't fussy fish and...

Honestly, I hadn't noticed them until you mentioned them. I mean, along with the color change, his belly turned white-ish, so I thought that was just part of that. I'll have to wait until morning to get a better picture.

Alright, he's got a cave now. Well, I don't want to keep him in the bowl. There's no way to keep a heater or filter on it. I have no idea what the spots are.

The danios aren't inactive, per se. They just aren't as active as other ones I've seen. The reason I have 6 is so they would school and ignore the betta, and when they chase anything, they chase one another. Hmm, this is a difficult situation. He's definitely not doing better in the bowl; if...

The isolation tank... I'm afraid I don't have a heater for it. It's room temperature at the moment. I know that's awful, but I wasn't expecting so many problems and I didn't anticipate having to move him. He's eating the same as usual. He gets about 6 color enhancing pellets a day, and he eats...

It's a Cascade 50 watt submersible heater. And come to think of it, yeah, I keep a lamp on next to the aquarium. The filter is 40 gallons an hour, I believe. He did have trouble with the current for a little while until I raised the water level and put a decoration under it to break up the...

No, there's nothing in the big tank he could get stuck in/on. There are no fuzzies on his head,and I've never seen him rubbing against anything. And I know it's hard to believe, but their tank is RIGHT on my desk, where I spend literally 15 hours a day. If he was being harassed, I would see it...

No, there's not a fish store nearby me, but I should get my testing kit tomorrow (I put it on rush shipping). I included some new pics. He just looks a lot duller today. And no, his spine's not bent. Not from what I've seen, anyway.

Uh oh. I just took another look and he's looking even worse for wear since I moved him. He's looking more grey and he's behaving the exact same way.

Well, it seems that his color is coming back. There was a time where his color did come back in the community tank, but then it went right back to the way it was.

I moved my betta to a 1 gallon bowl. However, he won't be in there for more than a week. I just want to make sure his condition improves before I move him anywhere else.

I actually just ordered a testing kit :) I suppose I'll have to find somewhere to put him for the time being until I can scrounge up the money for another tank...

So you think all of these problems would be resolved if I moved him?
