wav.gif Hello ALL!!!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum 4 this qstn unsure.gif ............... but Something is wrong with my betta his name is miroku and miroku used to be very energetic and lively although he used to be teased by my other goldfish kagura . He is in a 10 gallon community tank with 2 guppies, 2 frogs, a few zebras, 1 goldfish, and 2 cleaners. I'm confused and I dont know what to do to help!! wall.gif
He isnt so happy anymore and is losing his color one of his cheeks is puffed out and he doesnt seem too happy.......... any advice would be helpful and very appreciated.

Thank you all and always, biggrin.gif

How old is your betta? When you say you have cleaners do you mean Pleco's? How long has he been in the tank with the rest of his room mates. Have you noticed him having any problems with water currents (blowing him around or anything)? Have you noticed anyone chasing him or thinking his tail is food?

sorry to hear that your betta seems sick, it certainly sounds like it, what i do when my betta is a little sluggish is i put a pinch of salt every couple of days into his water and usually that kills what ever he's got, if that doesnt' seem to work after a few days maybe try some tropical fish antibiotics, you can find them anywhere even your local wal mart. good luck!
