Aquarium Advice Regular
Ive got a male b&w comb tail betta in a 1.5g tank with all live plants, filtered and heated to 80*. Ive had him for at least three months now and up till now hes been a happy-camper. I do weekly water changes, im very methodical about cleaning each component (i.e. rocks, plant leaves, pots...all decorative items) and making sure to eliminate all chlorine. Also to make sure temp is as near as exact to prev temp before putting him back.
Anyways, the last few days hes lost a lot of the black pigment and he sleeps a lot in his little cave. When i wake him up in the morning he kinda spazzes out; darting around and crashing/banking off the rocks then he hides in the back corner, panting and unresponsive to me.
He still eats, as soon as he snaps out of that...whatever it is....
Also he used to make crazy huge elaborate buble nests, but lately he has not.....just many things like that that tell me something is not quite right with him.
If anyone has any ideas......
Also, i just did a water/filter change, so maybe that'll help.
