Keeps freaking out and then going still and unresponsive every few seconds. I just moved her from a 5 gal to a 10 gal

    She just moved in, new water, no tank mates, the normal like 2-3 pellets of betta food

    Are the parameters between your tanks very different? Temperature or pH, maybe? She looks like she may be in shock

  4. I would do a big water change quick. Like maybe 80 percent or so. I see bubbles on the glass which tells me the tank most likely isn’t cycled. It’s probably an ammonia spike.

    Mine sadly had a similar demise. Everything pointed to a parasite. There are treatments for that

  6. Yea something isn’t right and putting her in complete shock. Either there is a drastic temperature change or there’s something wrong with the water. Did you treat the water? Did you acclimate her at all? How long was she in the tank before he started acting like this.

  7. I can’t really see her gill movement but she absolutely looks like she is in distress. She is likely in shock either because you did not acclimate her or, more likely in this case, because you did not cycle the tank properly. I would love to hear that I am wrong but if the tank isn’t cycled then she probably will not survive.
