Swim Bladder, Part II
Angelo's swim bladder issues are getting worse. :(
I know there are some of "those" bettas, who just have or develop swim bladder issues, and if he's one of them, I know there's not much, if anything, which can be done.
But he can't sink at all or swim down, and when he tries, it's like there's a bobber attached to his back end. I've tried raising the temp, doing more frequent water changes, I've fed him pellets, frozen food, daphnia, peas, and flakes (in reasonable amounts and over time, of course) but nothing seems to help.
He will still eat, but when there's not food in the tank, he just hangs in one corner of it, lying on his side. He WOULD be active if he could move properly.
I feel so bad for him. Is there anything else that can be done? Should I euthanize him?
