Ok, I have this betta for maybe a year know. I got him on this month last year. Before I continue, the following paremeters are:
Nitrates, 0ppm
Ammonia, 0ppm
nitrite 0 ppm
ph 7.0 ppm.
temp is 80 degrees
I know. Good paremeters. So confused
So, he is a tough betta that is for sure and I have made several topics on him (for example, “bettas stomach is fat?”And “this is the toughest betta on earth!” So I have him in a non-planted 5 gallon topfin all in one tank with a hang on back filter. Sadly all this happened during the beginning of my “career” (even tho def NOT a career.)but anyway I didn’t cycle the tank, only dechloranated the water and added him in within 2 hours day one. No acclimation either. 😆 I messed up so bad, but at least I Ifinally know how to cycle a tank, he had a bloated or fat stomach a couple of weeks ago and now it looks like it will burst. I am scared because he has had his top fin clamped for a LONG time. I am talking 3 months. His ventral fin (one of them)is like rotting and torn and I am clueless. I feed him daphnia every other day (I didn’t use to until the fat stomach and then I got freeze dried daphnia and fasted him and then I have been feeding him every other day. He will eat. Mainly sits in his cave or at the bottom. Does swim some tho. He is a half moon Lon fin betta. Yes I realized eventually that thse things don’t STAY healthy.
with all that said, HELP!!! 😂. I am clueless of what to do. Plz I need assistance here…thanks in advance
