    So sorry to hear. Have a good time swimming in the rainbow puddle Merlin.

    But what I find is weird. I know they breath through their gills and I know this must sound like super rediculous but he was like digging his face into the gravle this morning but he seemed to be getting better so I thought nothing of it but it looked like he was sufficating himself

    Bettas breath through a labyrinth organ, not their gills. Its similar to lungs. They can suffocate if they can't go to the surface even within a few minutes.

    So that means his swimming must have been bad. RIP Merlin
