Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hello everyone, Recently I have noticed my older 2 year old betta starting to act more sluggish, not have nearly as much energy, and stay hiding most of the day. He is still eating but when he isn't eating, he is hiding at the bottom of the tank. Could this be because of his age or do you think it could be parasites? . . . or something else? You can tell his stomach has definitely swelled and she seems overall skinnier. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaredL Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm not very experienced with diseases, but have you investigated bloat? I only ask cause you mentioned the big stomach. Bettas are piggy eaters and as such are more susceptible to this. What are you feeding and how much/often? Have you noticed pooping recently? Again, not very experienced, but recently lost a betta and read up alot about this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks for the reply. For food I give him bloodworms, brineshrimp, beef heart, and Tetra Fin & Tetra Color flakes. This is the same with all of my other fish too.
