We had a Beta named Snoopy that lived a full life of 4 years. Never did anything super special for him except fresh water (tap water.... not distilled). Somehow he made it without much special treatment. But then we got another that didn't last long at all (I think it was dropsy) and he got replaced with another that didn't last long again. With those I used distilled water I think because by that time we were living in the country and I wasn't sure how good the well water would be for them. I plan on trying again with a new one soon but wasn't sure which water to use.
I hope yours feels better soon, xtine! Sorry that I couldn't give you any advice.
