How do I save our Betta fish who cannot eat and who was always a great eater but now sees his food and tries to eat it but cannot get it in his mouth and will certainly starve to death?

My betta fish had a similar problem...he had a fungal infection in and around his mouth. It looked jelly like and white. I added some antibiotic drops that the pet store gave to me. They said this happens quite a bit, unfortunately he got worse and he died. This happened to two of my bettas. I cleaned their tanks weekly and used distilled water(as I was instructed). This is my experience..I never got an answer. The fungus closed their mouth opening so they were unable to eat. Mine too loved to eat, and ate vigorously. _______________________________________________________________________

My certainly does all the time but mostly at night before i feed him. Betta fish are quite adept jumpers. In the wild, during drought season, their survival often depends on them "jumping" from puddle to puddle to find one that's large and clean with food. It's always best to keep a lid on a betta tank. Even a piece of breatheable cloth secured with a rubber band works just fine.
