Ken Burke Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 my wife’s betta is about 4 years old, so older than the “internet’s” opinion regarding lifespan. his chest and belly are swollen, with a reddish tint, and he is not eating. The other fish are acting fine, but include most of my red sailfin corys. best pictures available, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
