I just received this betta yesterday and he died today while I was at work.
Water parameters are zero for ammonia and nitrite, 5ppm nitrate, ph 7.2, temp 78F. His tank is cycled 5.5g with lots of plants to hide in or rest on. I did the drip method to acclimate him. He seemed healthy at first but as the day went on he became lethargic and refused to eat. He was mostly resting on the plants all day before I went to work and still wouldn't eat.
The store I bought him from is going to send me another one free of charge, but I don't want that one to die too. What should I do to prevent the new one from suffering the same fate?
