Betta Fish Laying On His Side
Hi sorry to hear your betta is potentially ill.
Betta fish laying on his side. Older betta fish won t have that youngster energy to explore. Some may live even longer but after hitting the 5 year mark they will become lethargic and more susceptible to disease. Our fishy was always a happy guy active swimmer and making bubbles on the top of the tank.
I have a male betta fish and before we moved him he was happy and swam all the time and was excited to see me and to eat his meals. The reason i ask these questions is that it could be a swim bladder issue. Have you seen it sink go down to the bottom at all.
I dont overfeed him and i am very particular to what he eats no pellets he actually refused to eat those. Check for sores bulging eyes white spots fuzzy areas fin rot or other signs that your betta may be fighting a disease. Too cold water poor water quality and general neglect are all causes of diseases any number of which could make your betta lie on his side.
Betta fish can live a happy and healthy life for about 4 to 5 years with good care. Help betta fish suddenly laying on side. I ordered a new one and won t be in for a few days.
I m sorry for that. Why is my betta fish floating on its side. My betta fish is laying on his side all the time either at the top or bottom of the tank.
I got him from walmart. I would like just some help on what i can do in the meantime thank you. A day later he looks sadder than ever stuck on his side at the top of the tank.
