Betta/Fighter fish
Hi all, I have a Betta fish, kept in a tank with Suckermouth Catfish, have had the pet for 1-2 months now. Suddenly today he has stopped eating and swimming and stays afloat on top of water tank and stays inactive in a tilted angle. When i tap him gently, he starts swimming straight again for a couple of seconds and then becomes inactive again.
His behaviour has changed rapidly, I am clueless as per what exactly issue is. I have 2 male bettas accompanies with 1 zebra fish pair and 1 suckermouth catfish in 2 separate tanks. The other betta is doing just fine and all other fishes are also doing fine. Please help me

You have different varieties of fish that need different aquarium temperatures. Example: your zebra fish needs an ideal temperature of 64 to 74 F, whereas your betta needs 75-80 F. You need a different aquarium to provide such temperature. You also need to analyze your water. If the water is hard or with bad bacteria, then that is also going to impact their health.
