What Can I Do To Help My Betta Fish He Isnt Doing Good2007-11-24 23:40:37

How long does a betta fish live? I have one that I have had for one year I have always had him in a fish bowl not a small tank with a pump the past week he looks like he isn't going to make it. He has been sitting at the bottom of the tank now he has his eyes closed some but still goes up to the top for air. What should I do? ShoudI go to walmart and buy a small fish pump for the bowl or buy a small tank with a pump? I just feel like I am to blame.

Answers:

well, sorry ot say but fish don't last very long so there is really no way to keep them healthy. one thing u might be able to do is clean the tank a lot so they fish can keep clean!!

This is hard to say, but flush him and buy a new one for 50cents.

Have you been cleaning his bowl? and have you been feeding him 2 to four peices of food twice a day?

I have a beta fish that has been living for 2 and a half years. They usulally only live for 2 years and mine is doing pretty good

dont put a pump just clean the cage

My betta fish lived for three years. I kept him in a desktop fish aquarium with a pump and he loved it. I wouldnt change his enviorment now, beacause it may stress him out, but the air pump might help. just add one to his bowl. Also there is medicine you can get at the pet store for thier water. ask someone there to help you first before you buy anything.

FLUSH HIM!

They don't last that long, just see what happens, and if he dies, then have a little toilet ceremony for him (I did it for all my betta's, Ora, Ida, Spud and Tatter) and go buy another one.

Do you have him sitting in a space that no one see's him? They love attention. I had a Betta that would not eat, unless I feed the food to him off the tip of a wet finger with food on it. I had to keep his bowl around where there was people coming up to him all the time and talking to him.

Go buy a water test kit and make sure all of the levels of minerals and pH are correct. If they aren't, do a water change and make sure that everything is nice and clean.
