Yeah it could be that I'm not sure.. now he can't even swim or move at all.. like he's trying too but just can't. I did another 30% water change and added some aquarium salt.. should I try an Epsom Salt bath?

I don’t know too much about fish disease, but I read about anchor worms somewhere and the symptoms were similar. They are pretty rare, so it might not be worms. If it is I suggest using antI parasite medication. Fast

I ordered some PraziPro.. but since I'm in Canada it will take quite some time to arrive.. and all the Epsom salts I've searched in my area have fragrances added like Eucalyptus etc.

Well I gave him a Epsom Salt bath but I guess it takes a few of those baths to see results?

EDIT: Also it's been around 3 days since he has eaten.. how am I supposed to feed him if he can't even swim properly.. (I was thinking to try feed him Daphnia to help with constipation).

IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE MULTIPLE TOO QUICKLY! YOU COULD HARM YOUR BETTA! Also, just stating the truth, if it has been 3 days he is unlikely to survive. He might make it through and beat the parasite, but the chances are against him now.

Yeah you're right, I will just do what I can till then.

Edit: Well he's tucked in a corner of a little house and hasn't moved all night.. so I'm assuming he's passed away. No gill movement or nothing.. guess that's it for this poor guy
