My three month old baby bettas began floating today and won't eat. One died, two are struggling, one seems okay. I went to feed them this afternoon and the biggest one was at the bottom laying on its side. I took him out and put him in a smaller container but he couldn't swim to the top and died a few hours later. I thought it would be a good idea to do a complete water change just in case whatever it was was contagious but when I opened the tank to get the other three out, one was in the middle of floating around in circles at the top. Needless to say, I panicked and now they're all in different containers. The two struggling ones are in shallow water because they can barely swim to the top (really have no clue if that's a good idea but it seems to be working). I've been flushing out their water with bottled water every few hours. This is my first set of babies and I thought all the dying and culling was over but I guess not :( Any ideas what it could be? Or how to save the rest?
