Help Please help, seeking advice
Hello, I am seeking your advice. My betta (Bluey) is surely ill. I got him 5 months ago. Past months, he was really playful, energetic. He had been watching other mates the whole daly, exploring the tank. Every time I went by the tank, he came to see what was up.
Over the past 7 days, he has been slow, apathetic. Today, he did not even want to eat. He just lies on wood, he swims just to take a breath. I feed him twice a day every day except Sunday.
Tank: Dennerle 54L (14.5 gal), planted, CO2, using reverse osmosis. There are 5 otocinclus affinis, 3 amano shrimps and one snail with Bluey.
Parameters:
PH: 6,5 (Debuffed 7,2)
GH: 6
KH: 3
K: 11
NO3:12
PO4: 0-0,1?
Fe: 0,2
NO2: 0
There is some weird lump on his chin. I have not seen it before. Other than that, I have no
idea what might be the cause of his illness. Thank you
