Question
nOT SURE IF HE'S SICK OR WHAT IS GOING ON BUT MY MALE BETA VELVET IS LAYING AT THE BOTTOM OF HIS TANK WHEN HE SWIMS IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S HAVING TROUBLE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR HIM

Answer
Hi Chris
What size tank is he in, how much and how often do you feed him, and what kind of food, and how often are you changing out his water? Lastly, what temperature do you keep her tank at, and do you ever test her water quality? This information is important in helping me help you figure out what the true issue is. Most often laying on the bottom of the tank means the water quality is poor, and you need to start changing out the water more often. Your fish may be exhausted or suffocating. This is not always the case though. Please either respond with the above information provided, or feel free to look up Betta Care web sites for more information so you can find out why these things are important! Best of luck to you.
