Just got a new beta yesterday. He’s been laying on the bottom of the tank all day other than to come up for air. The last beta wasn’t on the bottom so much but I do know they like to rest... About 10 minutes ago it started swimming back and forth obsessively between the side of the tank and the tiny corner filter... then back and for obsessively along one side of the tank. Then tight little S curves going up and down in one spot. Very strange movement. Then it wedged itself between the wall and the filter again but stopped using its tiny little swimmer fins and kind of floated at an upward slant motion but not all the way at the top next to the suction part of the filter, motionless to the point it’s tail was being sucked up. Now he’s back resting at the bottom. I also noticed if he doesn’t prop himself up just right he tips over when resting. Is there anything I can do for him? Will adding a couple extra drops of stress coat help? I know it’s just a beta but if I can help him I’d like to try!
