I think my betta is dying....i came on here hoping too get
some advice on how too make him come around...i've had him
for a little over a year...he seemed to be fine a couple
days ago and i went to feed him today and i noticed he
wasn't as colorful as usual...and wasn't swimming around
like usual, just sitting in one stop and not moving much. He
won't eat! I clean the water regularly too. About 6 or so
months ago he had a big scare and i thought i was going to
lose him then: what happened ? I had him in a little cup
that i usually scoop him up in to change the water, i had a
little too much water in the cup so i was trying to dump a
little bit out while he was in there....the sink i was using
didn't have a screen in it and he ended up going down the
drain. So i started to freak because i love him and i felt
horrible. My dad came in the bathroom with some tools and
ended up getting the lil guy outta the drain, he was still
alive and i ammediatly put him in some warm water...i spent
hrs trying to revive him by rocking him back and forth in
the water so he would get water in his gills, he was
floating on his side so i was trying to keep him up right,
i dunno, it seemed to work because he was back to him old
self in a few days, he lost all his beautiful fins tho' but
they have almost grown back to normal! I would just love
someone's words of wisdom about this....What can i do too
make him come around like he did the last time ?
Sincerely...Jenna and (Blanche) I named him after my
nannie...even tho it seems to be a ladies name!!! HELP...
