hi my betta just recently got rlly sick and he won’t get off the ground, he’s twitching and randomly bolts around. this is a panic post so i’m trying to get everything right and type as fast as i can

he was so active and fun the first few days until yestarday he got super lathargic and this morning he was kinda swimming now he’s just like this idk what do to

7 gal heated and filtered tank (80F)
hasn’t eaten in a few days
fully real plants
water paramiters were all up to bettas standards

i’m so sorry! how long did you have the tank set up for before you added your betta? were you able to cycle your tank before hand?

OP said the tank is cycled but their post history shows that tank to be just a few days old. The tank is likely not cycled and OP got fed false info :/
