betta has been acting a bit weird for over a month, chalked it up to being depressed in his 5gal so we upgraded him to a 10. tank was fully cycled (fish was not in it while cycling) after 4 weeks and he has been living in it for 2 weeks.
he has been slightly bloated for the last 4 days so i have been fasting him. he is not pineconing, but this white dot appeared on his eye over the weekend. is this ich? he is a little lethargic so i am worried 🙁
there are some shrimp in the tank with him who i moved over from his 5gal. i can move him back into his old tank as a hospital tank if needed, it is still up and running and currently uninhabited.
we have also always been trying to manage fin rot for him with no success, if anyone has tips. he is meant to be a crown tail but definitely experiences some rot, though it hasn’t accelerated in quite some time
ph: 7.4
ammonia: between 0ppm-0.25ppm
nitrite: 0ppm
nitrate: 5ppm
temp is: 79°
have had our fish for a year and 2 months. he’s my baby 🙁 please help
