My pet fighter fish seems to be dying. >Haven't seen it eating anything in days>Lays down all the time at the floor>Breathes heavily through gills>Now skin is becoming whiter and palerAnyone here with experience keeping these fishes? Anything I can do to save it? It's almost 1.5 years old by now but google tells me it can live up to 3-5 years. For now I've changed it to a bucket and bathed it in methylene blue for half an hour.

It's hard to say. What is his normal tank like? Are ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels ok?What's the temperature of his tank?
>>4908981I've no idea about those. It's a lightly planted tank with 35 litres of water, 20 small tetras and a few shrimps. Top covered with coontail and has a filter. Usually changes 5-10 litres per week. Has no idea about those because don't have testing kits.
>>4908981>What's the temperature of his tank?I live in a tropical country so didn't have to use a heater because it never gets winter here.
>>4908981Just used litmus I had around and water seems to have ph of 7-8. Green solution changed to violet/blueish colour.
What are these things anyway like $10 fish that only cheap faggots who don't know shit about fish keep?Just flush it and get a new one. Or better yet, get a new one and put it in the tank and let this weak little dipshit die in battle with honour.
