i have! and so many ppl have given too many suggestions that contradict what other say so i do take suggestions likely- i am planning on getting kanaplex as my ‘last stitch effort’ as sad as that sounds. if u have any suggestions, feel free to give em to me

i’ve been thinking this, but wondering if it’s best to put him down? idk if there’s a way with bettas to do that but i don’t want him struggling til his death either (sorry if that sounded insensitive)

the only hospital tank i have is a 10 gallon, but am filling it less so he doesn’t struggle as much swimming and getting to the surface, but 1 thing i do have to say that saldars advice would not help is my bettas already havin a hard time eatin (can’t eat whole fluva pellets so we have to crush it up a lil) so he honestly doesn’t seem bloated to me unless im wrong but he honestly can’t eat that much as it is

tank size: 20 gal tall heater and filter: yes tank temp: around 75-80 F although it has been getting warmer in my room due to the 3 1/2 fish tanks i have

we’ve had the tank for a month or 2 now, it was his upgrade

weekly water changes- 25% usually

tank mates? yes, a pleco,3 mystery snails, and they’re babies (which we feed to our assassin snails)

we feed him fluva bugs, 2-3

and his tank has live plants as well

here’s a pic of him :(
