Hi
can anyone one help me, my female Betta has become listless and just lies at the bottom of the tank, my water conditions are V good (checked regular) my male Betta seems fine, my tank is 215 ltrs (43 gallon?) and yes I realise it is over stocked ? (18 tetras neons,silver tips, glowlights and rosy-- 2 small clown loach a pair of dwarf gouramis nd a pair of golden gouramis and 4 pepper cats all of which are very happy) I perform a 15% water change every 5 days and test my water regular!!
she has the stripes down her flank which I'm told (rightly or wrongly?) that she is ready to breed ?? I feed a varied diet flake frozen shrimp daphnia etc, there is no sign of any bullying or fin nipping except from the male golden (bit of a thug !!) but he only seems to chase his mate off (probably because shes as big as him 3 inch and he see's her as a threat at feeding time!) any suggestions (I'm sure there will be lots about the over crowding !) the male hasnt built a "nest" but seems very fond of her!
