I didn't want to post this in the sick section, since he's not really sick
I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with an old betta? One of my guys is turning white (like fading) around his gills, face and chest. One of his eyes is also turning gold instead of black/dark brown. It is almost like he is just fading! (He is normally a magenta color).
He has been having swim bladder issues, and I have been taking care of that with peas and fasting.
He has also had a bump in his midsection, between his stomach and his swim bladder, and I was just assuming it was a tumor or something, since it doesn't seem to affect him too much.
I got him about a year and a half ago, but I know he was a lot older than normal, since he was too big for his cup. The water he and one other guy I got was HORRIBLE, so that might have also shortened their life spans.
Thanks for any help.
