Sombat Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’ve had this female betta for about 6 months in a 75 gallon community tank. All my other fish appear to be okay. For the past few day’s I’ve noticed the betta has been hanging around the bottom of the tank. It’s still alive but not really active. Any ideas on why she is behaving in this manner?

Colu Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It could nitrites causeing the prolems with your Betta I would do small 25% daily water changes and add prime to detoxify any nitrites under certain conditions 0.25 of nitrites is enough to weaken sensitive fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
