My fishes tail is not working anymore???

[AtifSajid]

WTF!!!

My fish is a betta. I've had it for almost a year. All of a sudden his tail doesnt really work. Like he just lays on the side of the fish tank and doesnt do shit. He moves it a little but not enough to get around anywhere.

Before he use to come swimming up to me and everything everytime he saw me come to the bowl. He just uses his 2 front flippers to struggle to eat food. I dont know whats wrong.

Should I end his misery? Should I let him live? I dont know what to do.

Please my wise IA'ers enlighten me.

I'm serious to about my fish. I'll post pics of him just chillin on the side of the fish bowl later on...I dont know whats up..

Sounds like the poor thing is having old age issues...

Betta's are cool :goodjob:

Me + Fish = Dead Fish for some reason... so I would be the one to talk to about what to do about his issue...Good luck though.

[ForgottenSoL]

hey that happened to my Betta so i decided to drop him in a glass oh coke and end his misery and bought a new one. Never found out why it happened though.

[AtifSajid]

How long do they usually live? Cause if it is old age...imma put him out of his misery...gotta find my pistol grip..

[ForgottenSoL]

ummm this one that i droped on coke lived for 2 years before i did that

If that dont get his tail workin he will die anyways...LOL

[AtifSajid]

I woke up this morning and the dude is just barely surviving...he aint doing shit...i think imma put him out of his misery....

[civic95]

Exactly. Might as well let him go out fighting. Its their natural instinct to fight so don't tell me "aww thats cruel".

[ahmonrah]

do the mirror thingy....

[ahmonrah]

and if that dont spark life, then pour bleach in the tank.......

[Mr_Mischif]

^fucked up and true.

[JennB]

He's sick. Likely a swim bladder infection or if he has spots on him, fish disease called ich.

You can treat him or he'll die eventually. Does he have filration? Regular water changes and dechlorination?

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^lol fish disease called ich??? ICK! :D

[AtifSajid]

water changed regularly but i think he might have the ich. LOL..semms a little white this morning.

[JennB]

You can get ich medicine at any pet store. It's drops that go in the water.

[AtifSajid]

you think he will be better after that, and how long?

[JennB]

No way to tell. I haven't seen him so I don't know for sure if that's even what he has.

Most all fish ailments are treatable though. There are wide spectrum cures that can be put in the tank that may help him even if you don't know exactly what he has. Ich is pretty common though as are swim bladder infections.

[Tracy]

I have given my beta fish medicine before and it worked. It's called Beta fix believe it or not.

[civic95]

Atif come on man your slacking!

^ Let me decifer that for you.

"Invite me to your house so I can see it (I'm not talking about the beta)"

[SixSquared]

My vote goes for end him... I had a beta for almost 3 years, and when he started acting like yours was, I knew it was time.. except by the time I made up my mind (in class) that it was time for him to go to fishie heaven, I came home and the fucker had beaten me to the punch and was belly up in his bowl. Asshole.

[RandomGuy]
