I think my rescue betta is dying. He's all lethargic and unresponsive to feeding or me making scary faces at him. I feel bad, he was doing all right until I left to house sit for a friend and the person who was looking after my cat didn't feed the fish. For whatever reason they thought I was? Even though they were feeding the cat. But I should have been more clear with the instructions. Now I don't know what to do. I've looked online and I can't find anything.
And I know this sounds horrible but fish take a long time to die and I don't want to watch him die slowly over the next few weeks. Looks like I have to though. Keep going through the motions of feeding him and changing the water but all to an unresponding fish. He just keeps tipping sideways. Or his tail sinks down. Or he leans on the glass. But he doesn't swim.
It's sad.
Don't know what to do.
