The Past 2 days I have noticed that my beta is just sitting on the bottom of the tank and not swimming around like he normaly does but it has also started to rain in the past 2 days which made the weather a bit colder, could the reasons for his "sitting around" be because of the water being a bit cold and if so should I just leave the water like that and wait for it to return to its normal tempreture by itself?

Hi! I had also gotten my betta close to winter time, and he started doing the same thing. I went and got him a water heater, and I had never seen him so alive and active without it. I believe the cold water made him sink to the bottom and be unactive. But my poor fish died. I would suggest you give the heater I try, but don't make it too warm. IP: Logged |

Yeah, i accidently froze my fish once. We got the bottled water from the garage and didn't think about it, then my fish looked dead. We had 2 heat the water up in the microwave until it was warm enough. THat betta lived 31/2 years! IP: Logged |

How cold is it? The tank should have a thermometer and a heater to keep the tank warm and temp. stable. Sometimes the temp. is o.k. but the two or three degree change over a short amount of time is stressful. Look at the bright side you spend 20 bucks or so on a heater but you save money because you don't need a air pump. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ok, it is official, my beta has a thin slime like substance on its tail and this has happened to one of my previous fish(not a beta) to, why is this happening? Can somebody tell me, obviously it is some kind of bacteria that is attacing the fish right? Is it something in the water, is it the tempreture? Help I DON'T KNOW!!! IP: Logged |
