Betta Fish

Betta Fish: This is a fish at my school

What is wrong with him. I have no control over the tank. He keeps getting stuck in the filter and he tucks himself in near the warmer. I’m assuming he sick or dying but I’ve never had a betta fish so I have no idea what’s going it.

    I have no idea of the parameters as I said I have no control of this tank or the fish

    Your sucks then. I’d bring it to their attention to the cruel inhumane way they’re treating life.

    Casper needs a better environment, not just a glass box, there’s a few things that can be wrong with him

    1- too much ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates, since there are no plants to break down fish waste it can build up after while which can make the water toxic, blocking their breathing and slowly kill them

    2- too strong of a filter, bettas fins are super delicate, like tissue paper, if the filter sucks in water, it can suck in his tail and rip it, which can case fin rot. Sponge filters are recommended

    3- depression, bettas are very intelligent fish, this tank is psychological torture for the little guy

    4- too small of a heater for the tank, the heater might be designed for a smaller tank, making some parts of the water warm, and the rest cool, which is why he hangs out near the heater

    5- not enough resting spots, a bettas fins are genetically modified to be large, which makes it heavy to swim, they love to be near the surface so the heater may be his only resting spot

    there’s are just a few points there are sooooo much more that can be wrong
