Ok, I need some help guys! I bought a female Betta to go in my moms tank when I set it up in a few weeks. I've put her in the 10 gallon in the Breeders Net, for now.
She has some serious Swim Bladder problems going on. When she's not floating lifelessly at the top, she swimming frantically in tight, head down circles. Durring the night, she must have been swimming very crazily, as I founder her outside of the Breeders Net.
She doesn't appear to be bloated, just a natural female pudge, and breeding stripes. Perhaps she's egg bound...?
She's also a tail biter, only with her a**l fin :/
She becomes so lifeless and weak at times that I can literally touch her, and she won't move (I thought she was dead this morning, so I poked her gently with the net).
Oh and she won't eat. This is only the second night I've had her, so that doesn't really mean too much, as of right now.
I originally thought maybe the floating plants were she was hanging out were freaking her out because she couldn't get air, and thats why she was swimming so frantically, so I put her in the Breeders Net to keep her away from them, buts clearly not the plants...
Heres some videos:
