I've had my crowntail betta for about 6 months now. For the past week or so I haven't seen him, but I thought it was because he was hiding from the new sponge filter I got him for his 5 gallon tank. I finally got tired of not seeing him ever so I went into his tank and movied his decorative cave and I found him lodged underneath it. He swam out frantically and just sank to the bottom. I figured he hadn't taken any oxygen in a while so I got out my fish net to raise him higher for a little while. He took a few breaths and is breathing normally, but he keeps sinking to the bottom. Should I put him into a bowl with shallow water to make it easier for him to get to the surface? I really don't want him to die. I also have melafix in case that will make things any better.
My betta fish is dying?
