Betta Fish Looks Like It S Dying
So yesterday i noticed this little brown curly thing hanging out under my fish s torso.
Betta fish looks like it s dying. Low energy levels may come with age. However if your betta is dying from simple old age you will be able to see warning signs for months in advance. I bought my betta fish around christmas 2011.
A healthy betta should immediately go to any food you place in the tank and may even jump for their food if they are excited. I have a female betta that i think is close to dying. It lives in a smaller unheated unfiltered bowl the size of a larger cantaloupe on a very high up small shelf in my room.
I tried taking a picture of her but she s hiding at the bottom of my tank near the corner. They are hardy pets but they can run. Today it looks to me more like an intestine hanging out.
A young betta fish should be active and should respond to stimulus. Betta fish also known as siamese fighting fish are beautiful elegant aquatic creatures that can live for up to six years. Really taking a toll on me.
I dont know what else to do. Betta fish live for 2 7 years bettas from breeders live much longer than store bought bettas that are damaged by ammonia and nitrite in small cups so being aware of when your pet may pass is helpful. I also added a dose of aquarium salt but he still looks like he is dying.
Last night i heard a bang in my room and ran up the stares to see my kitten de clawed run out. Bettas like most animals will lose their appetite when they are sick. I love fish to and they are so hard to keep from dying sorry.
