I have a beta fish, he is probably about 2 years old. He has always been in good health, but one night, I looked in the tank, and his fin was gone!! I dont know what happend to him....

Ever since then (about a week ago), he has stopped swimming. he hangs out at the bottom of the tank and doesnt move. He is still alive... he eats almost nothing....

I dont know what I should do.. should i keep taking care of him and just wait until he croaks, or should i let him go??

I really do care about my fish-- He is a beta and has his own 5 gallon tank..... I want to do the ethical thing.
i decided to let him live... he'll be fine

It's nature. It's time to let go. I've been there too with my Betas. Praying doesn't hurt.

Do it. He's suffering. 2 years is good for a fish
