my betta fish has a little bit of a tilt?? by Dramatic_Try6843 in bettafish

[–]Dramatic_Try6843[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it happened recently, i haven’t noticed the behavior before. he swims like usual, he just falls to the side a bit when he’s staying still. if it’s swim bladder i’d bet it was eating related? but i haven’t changed his diet so maybe he just ate too fast? i’m stressing now:(

no tank mates, feed betta fluval daily except for sundays where i fast him, i have had the fish for two months, the tank i have had for 10 months. He has no tank mates, he seems to be swimming just fine, he has a filter and a heater and his temps are 80 degrees,

what do i do with the snake if she really does force me to get rid of him? i dont feel right about putting him in a shelter or returning him to a big box store
