this is my third betta fish. he is not moving, eating, or interacting like he used to. He used to make bubble nests, jump when i gave him food, and follow my finger. None of the ones I have had have lived past nine months after I've gotten them. They always die. They have 5-10 gallon planted tanks that were cycled, have live plants, have a filter, heater, and hiding spots. yet they always seem to die. But I hear so many stories online and from my IRL friends talking about how their fishes lived for multiple years in poor conditions. Why do mine keep dying, it feels like it is all my fault.

this is the most relatable post i’ve seen on here. i see why people quit too. and i always try to blame myself, so it feels like there’s something i can do better next time. but there’s been times where im just not sure what i could have done. it’s so disappointing. i’m sorry about your fishy friend. he’s stunning
Sending all the good vibes your way🩵💙
I know you said your tank is cycled, but what’s your water parameters, water hardness, etc?
