I've had my betta for 1 1/2 weeks. He's not doing well. He keeps losing parts of his fins and they are all torn. When i got him he was very red, but now he's a very pale pink. He didn't eat anything that i fed him last, and when he swims he doesn't use his front fins at all. His swim motions are very jerky. He's been hanging out at the top of the water. I put him next to a mirror to see if he'd flare... but he didn't seem to care.
he lives in a bowl approx. 3/4 of a gallon. I know it's small, but the pet store guy said it was ok. there are gems at the bottom, a plastic plant, and a little red box for him to hide in. his bowl usually feels cold. i put it on a candle warmer and got a stick-on thermometer for the side of his bowl to monitor the temps.
I gave him a 67% water change 2 days ago. I plan on going to the pet store to buy some rock salt to put in his bowl. what else can i do to make my fishy healthy again?
