Betta Eating Not Swimming
As such a betta fish not eating and in addition lays at the bottom of the tank without swimming or moving and also tries to hide has enough signs that all is not well.
Betta eating not swimming. When i changed the water the other day he was hiding in a rock and fell backwards out and drifted to the bottom. He has been in his log all day today and hasn t moved a bit. My betta is not eating and is not swimming.
I have had him for three years. I ve had my betta fish rylee for about 9 months now i got him from petsmart and he has been swimming and waited everyday for me to feed him and ate right away. The four most common signs of illness in bettas are loss of appetite lethargy change in color and clamped fins.
Betta is lying on side not swimming or eating no sign of sickness i have had my betta for two and a half years i do not know how old he was when i bought him. He swims away from me not normal and lately for a few days all he does is just sleeps or just stays still whether on some plants or recently he hides in his little log. Betta fish not eating or swimming and laying at bottom.
They are prone to this disease in a home aquarium mainly due to poor water conditions. Not eating or not getting the right nutrients can leave a deep impact on their health or even put their life at risk. I had him in a 2 liter bowl for about 6 7 months and had no problem then about 2 months ago i got him a 5 gallon tank with a little cave decoration and he was fine on my night stand in my bedroom not exactly in the sun but close.
One of the first and most common sign is a betta fish not eating regularly. He hasnt been swimming much in the past week or so he only stays on the bottom of the tank laying sideways and only makes the effort to swim when we feed him but struggles a lot because he doesnt really use his tail to swim. My betta joey is not doing so well.
Betta fish behave poorly if the right conditions aren t met or they re sick. He is no longer active and swimming as usual. He lays on the bottom.
