TB usually takes a little longer to come to full bloom. Sounds like a sytemic infection. Unfortunately I've been out of bettas long enough to hav forgotten most everything except the Indian leaves. Sorry I can't help.

I know it takes a while for it to take effect, but I have seen it come and kill off fish without ANY symptoms during that time. They all seem to be optional "it might cause this, but it might not", sort of things. I'm on a betta forum right now talking to them about it. It could be a bunch of different things. I'm still treating him--using the leaves and salt. He's still alive today but not well. Gave him shallow water so he doesn't have to swim up to the top. A betta breeder told me I will know for sure in 4-6 days what it is--if it's an infection, it should clear up with the medication and I will see improvement at that time. Almost all other betta infections get better with clean warm water, epsom salt, and indian almond leaves. TB is one of the only ones that actually does not respond at all to this type of treatment.
Still hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

Thanks.
Sigh, the sad boy this morning before his water change:
Sad to think in only a few short days he would look so different than his usual handsome self.
Still alive, still around the same healthwise. He sits normal sometimes, but sometimes sits vertical. I lowered the water for him so he can breathe a little easier, he likes to sit just underneath the top now while relaxing at the bottom.
Trying my best to keep him comfortable at least.

Sorry to hear about your fishy, I hope you can find some answers. Looks like a stunner of a fish, I've had bettas but never had anything likes this happen

Looking a little healthier and swimming horizontally again. Still dragging his rear end occasionally and spends most of his time at the bottom. Now he moves his pectoral fins though to keep his balance instead of just sitting there motionlessly! He will sit vertically still(but face up, not the face down death hang!)
See blur? He's still swimming around, looking for bloodworms.
Now he doesn't slide at the bottom any more, he keeps himself afloat barely above the bottom. Seems to have gotten spoiled on bloodworms now and won't touch pellets. At least it's a higher protein diet which is what I was going for, just hoping I can get him to eat other foods!
