Well it sounds like he might get better if he eats. but you said a few times he's old and sort of wish he would just go and be out of his missery. It sucks but sometimes we have to make a choice for our pets sake. For a mammal this is getting a shot from the vet for fish a trip to the vet would only be needed if you want someone else to do it for you. If you really think he needs to be out of his missery here is a site on euthanizing fish.

Thanks for the tips. I think that helping a suffering animal to die is one of the best things we can do for our pets, however, Typhoon is swimming and acting better. If it gets to euthanasia I will have to do what I have to do.

Sending prayers! Get better little buddy!

He's still kicking, well actually swimming a lot more, but I have not seen him eat in days. He was always a big big eater. This is the strongest betta I've ever seen. I think he's fighting. Yesterday was the end of his treatment, so I can change about half his water today. I hope that makes some difference.

I never knew I could get so attached to a betta, but then again I've very attached to my other fish. They even get gifts for Christmas.

I really hope little Typhoon gets better soon. Bettas sometimes fight hard for their life, which is good! He knows he has a good reason to live We'll keep on praying for him! Keep us updated.
