Okay so I need help. And FAST! I've got a male betta who I've had for a short amount of time now and today he decided to show me that he indeed does know how to jump. I was cleaning his water like I ALWAYS have and I put meds in it because I expect him to be sick and I left him in a little bowl for awhile to let the medicine dilute in his water. LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE. Well, this time I come back a few hours later and he is out of the bowl and in the tub no longer moving. He moved when I touched him so he wasn't completely dead, just totally black on the side he was laying on. So I tossed him quickly into his new bowl and at first it wasnt too bad. he floated vertically with his mouth above the water and he swam just fine when I chased him with my finger. Now however is another story. He acts as though he is paralyzed and only his little fins would move. I can twirl him around in the water and he wont move. I still think he's breathing and he moves after awhile of bothering him. But not very far. He just twitches a little. Well I'm very worried about him and I don't want him to die. Is there anything I can do, or is all hope lost? PLEASE HELP ME!

Aww poor guy, I don't think there is much you can do for him now. Since he can't swim well and they breathe air from the surface, put him in shallow water, a few inches deep, so he can reach the surface easier.

(Rating: 5) Thanks so much for your help. But he passed away shortly after I posted this.
