Charliebrown has given very good responses to how to 'treat' the disease you faced

if you see the color of the betta a little pale, not eating well, its always good to use some anti internal bacteria, yellow powder, ketapang, and hope it would improve its condition.

usually it take some days from pale, not eating stage to bloated stage. once bloat, a little advanced liao..hard to treat.

I never say you not around leh... haha...

I don't know whether you come here often because you don't post here much now. Maybe can find you on Gunners thread...hehe...

If you have ketapang, add some. It will help. Change water about 30-40% daily.

On why fin clamp happens, check whether the tank's water is cold. Do you put the tanks near windows? If water is cold, fin clamp and dropsy tends to be more common.

Hi there, is 27-28c consider cold? And is 30c a good temp for betta in reducing the risk of getting diseases.

Many thanks.

Thanks, great to hear that. Because my water temp is around 30c.

Bros, i need help....

my betta i dunno what is wrong with it even after reading this whole thread.. and i am starting to get worried...

it is eating (but not as much), flaring too when he sees other bettas, but the rest of the time it is sitting at the bottom of the tank coming up occasionally and swimming around occasionally...is there anything wrong or i am just too worried??

If flaring normally, should be ok. Maybe add a bit of ketapang if you are still worried.

What is the size of your tank?
Is your betta tank placed in an area which is very noisy, for example near the door?
Sometimes bettas are stressed due to environmental reasons.

I dun think your betta is sick. instead of black water can you used ketapang water instead?

if you want you can add 1-2 drops of Ocean free Vitamin complex
