Noticed the lump today — betta was very tired looking, slow, and was floating still near the bottom corners of the tank, he was almost lying sideways at one point :(. Water quality is usually good but we did put in some mopani leaves for the first time and the water quality seemed to decline. Has anyone seen this before and any ideas on what to do? We are first time betta owners and really are trying to take care of him!! He is less than a year old. Thank you
