BROKEN BACK

Question
I recently noticed that my beta has been having a really hard time keeping herself right side up and she has to brace herself against rocks and the little tree in her tank. When I started watching her more closely I noticed that her back is completely disfigured and looks broke. I feel so bad for her. Please Help!!

Answer
Hi Nikki,
  I don't see that there is anything that you can do for her.  Unfortunately bettas do not live very long and once they start going down hill, they basically fall apart very quickly.  Sorry.
