Concerned about my betta

[maestromad]

My betta appear to be a bit out of sorts. He's laying on top of the filter and not swimming about like his normal self.
He did swim for a few minutes when I fed them earlier but then straight back to the filter.

There is no obvious marks or signs of sickness just this lethargic behaviour b
I had time to check the water ammonia and nitrates 0 and nitrates 0-10
Any ideas?

One other thing all the chili rasboras and assassin snails in the tank are fine
Planning on a water change when I get home just incase

Is he getting bullied? What size tank? How long have you had him in the tank? What is your tank temp? What are his tank mates?

 

[maestromad]

No he's definitely not getting bullied he's in an 80l tank with some teeny tiny rasboras and two snails. I've had him for months now and the temp and all parameters are exactly the same as always

I've just worked out I've had him for 9 months ! He's my oldest fish!
