Why is your betta fish turning brown?

Answer 1

it could be depressed for nothing to do in its tank/bowl . he/she could have a disease so i needed medication (here comes the ambulance XD) or same thing as depression he needs a buddy :3

ANOTHER non-bad possibility but kinda bad that what ever you are feeding your betta it might not have any coloration for Mr/ ms. Betta if you like to see them happy buy bloodworms =3

don't feed them that all the time or they will develope swim bladder disorder feed it for a treat

Answer 2

If this "large lump" is a cyst it may eventually burst. There is nothing I know of that you can do other than wait for things to take their course and make sure the fishes water is kept perfect by daily water changes.

Answer 3

The fish has been bleached to death by Ammonia. Please observe the basic rules of fishkeeping next time you want to keep fish. The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish (a Betta is a 3 inch fish) needs at least 1 gallon of water. Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

You have literally neglected your fish to a very nasty death.

You dont really need a fliter in a fresh water tank for just one betta.

Answer 4

It is sick. You can find medicine for it in a pet shop.
