Question
Sir Paulanca the 2nd
I've had Paulanca for a bit over a year, maybe more and it's started moving towards the side of the tank (it's a semi circle tank hanging off a wall) and started to swim around less and less. Now he barely moves at all :(. Lately I've been putting his tank in the sun and his color has gotten a lot better but he's now lost his appetite.
Please help this is so sad to watch. i bought him a plant to liven up his tank :) and the people at the fish shop i bought him at said to try giving him small bits of a pea but still nothing :(
AnswerHi Michelle,
Sadly, I suspect that Sir Paulanca is just getting old. Bettas do not live very long. It is important to make sure that he has clean water and a temperature up around 80oF so that he can live out his days in comfort.
