beta on the way out
Well, my beta fish that I've had for 4 years now seems to be going downhill. He's looked more gray lately than his normal vibrant colors. He's also resting a lot more....on the bottom of the tank, or on plants...on his side. He still has his appetite, but I think he's going to die within the next month or so. No big deal...he's had a happy life for 4 years as the only fishy resident in my 5 gallon tank (the only other inhabitant is my little dwarf frog). But still, kinda sad to see him this way. I was hoping the frog would go first because the frog is the one who is a PAIN to feed. The fish was easy. Hopefully he's just sick for the time being and he'll recoup soon, but I have a feeling it's just old age closing in.
