Before a Betta fish dies you will notice that it will try to swim but it will just float to the

bottom of the tank and sort of be floating on its tail otherwise just lying on its side. You'll also notice that the Betta's gills will not be workaround its fins will not be working Betta Will be fighting for life but the Betta's muscles don't respond i noticed that my Betta tries to make a attempt to live but he just floats to the bottom waiting for death sorry your Betta may be doing this.

You may notice that the Betta will try to swim up, it will not be able to do so and will float slowly down. The Betta may lose color around its gills and one or multiple fins may not be working. It may swim randomly at the bottom of the bowl almost looking like it is sleeping....but dreaming.

Generally it'll sit on the bottom or hide away and might not eat his/her favorite meal, turn on its side, and it's body starts to harden, with the head tilting upward more so than normal.

You know when it is dying when it gets all gloomy and doesn't swim often. But it has to be doing it all the time or else it might be sleeping...

If it stops eating and it starts to change color. Bettas are know for eating a lot so when they dont it probably means they are sick. that what happened to mine.
