Fish question My little reddy, a red betta fish hasn't been eating as much, looks to me like he can't see his food when I feed him because he comes out to get it but he can't catch it. Also, when he swims or sleeps he only uses one side of his body, is like he is having problems using the other side of his body. I know he is getting old in fish years he is almost 3 years old but, is ther anything I can do? I don't want him to suffer but I don't know how much I can do to help him either. Any advise would be appreciatte it. Thanks:( :confused: :( |
Betta fish I have a betta as well, and in fact have always had a betta at one time or another in my life.My betta actually does similar to yours when it comes to the food, he is young though, he used to swim down and get the bits as they fall, now they seem to get away from him.I have started using floating food, which he seems to like, and takes off the surface as he wants it.As far as the favoring of one side I couldn't tell you really, mine have never done that.This is a very very good site in reference to Bettas though: http://www.bettatalk.com/FAQ_library.htm |
Thank you though, I already saved that link in my favorites.:) |
I was going to suggest floating food as well. Maybe it would help if you changed his water? I have several bettas, and they seem to perk up with a water change. Occasionally, I'll use a tiny bit of aquarium salt. |
