here is what she emailed me with...

My name is Christina. I saw you know quite a bit about bettas. I would appreciate it if you could help me. I have 2 bettas, and 1 of them is dying. He is swimming on his side, lying down, not eating, ect... His fins are kind of clumped together, and he is breathing heavily. For a few seconds, he started swimming quickly and hitting the sides. Then he started swimming upside down! The other betta's fins are the same way, but he isn't acting odd. I don't think it is fin rot. Do you know what it might be?


i need to get back to her asap, she emailed me yesterday, and i must have forgot to check my messages!! please help me help her!!

sounds like bad water, or an internal infection. change water, treat with bettamax, or jungle buddies, i doubt it is old age, but that seems to happen to my bettas alot.

my mom swears that putting a betta like that next to another male will cure him, but i am not so sure.

i would treat with bettamx
