    He isn't getting any better.I thought Jester was but he isn't. He looks so bad.I am going to do a water change and exatra salt in tomorrow.But he can't rest and trys so hard to swim to the bottom up floats back up.

    How long did you not feed him for? I haven't had to treat for swim bladder but it would be safe to not feed him for a few days.. it takes quite a while to starve a betta. 2-3 days wouldn't be a problem.

    2 days would be better I think. See if you can break up the pea and get him to eat some.. it's supposed to act like a fishy laxative.
