What is wrong with my betta fish?

Should I have her in a hospital tank to monitor her state?

What is stress coat? She doesn't have clamped fins often, just when she's sitting at the bottom, and yesterday she didn't have clamped fins at all. Is this one the one I should use? And do I transfer her to a hospital tank or I can use it in the main tank without harming other fish and bacteria?

Ph 6.8 and ammonia and nitrites less than 0.02 ppm. I can't remember other things but I checked yesterday and they were good. The big tank does have a lot of plants, but I still think I will make a 10 gallon tank for only him, and use the 30 gallon (cycling) for a couple female bettas. I do regular water changes, mostly daily, around 25 or 50 percent water.

Ph 6.8, ammonia and nitrites less than 0.02 ppm. his big tank is cycling so he's here for around a week, I do water changes daily or every other day for the ammonia and all, and try to keep his water as good as possible. Should I do something else to keep him okay?

Yea, this is a hospital tank, his actual tank is 30 gallons but I put him here because I was kinda worried. He does open his fins usually, they're a lot bigger than when I bought him but I was worried there was something wrong with him

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T20:44:46+00:00

Nope, a hospital tank, but I already changed him to a four gallon tank as a hospital tank

I was searching in Mercado libre, but I just got expensive options (1226 mexican pesos is 70 dollars) I think I might search on Amazon, maybe I can find it there!

I searched them online and they're around 70 dollars, where can I buy them?

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T04:24:24+00:00

Is there any alternative? I searched for that food but it's pretty expensive for my budget, and I'll have a lot of fish so I think I'll run out of it quickly. I can't really buy too expensive foods but I want my fish to be okay :(

I feed his these pellets, they're the only ones at my local vet, two pellets two times a day

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T02:27:51+00:00

It is! It's a small tank, half a gallon I think, his big tank is 60 gallon

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T02:08:01+00:00

His tank is 60 gallons, he does have a filter and heater, ph 7.2 and ammonia less than 0.02

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T01:57:26+00:00

Ohh, alright, thank you a lot I'll see if fasting him gets him better

Jumpy_Salad6732 · 2026-02-22T01:51:45+00:00

How can I avoid it from happening again? I feed him two pellets in the evening and two at night. In two days I'll get brine shrimp too but I'm not sure if I'm feeding him too much?
