Hey everyone!
Ok, so my sister has had this female betta for about a year and today she's acting really funky...she has bubbles coming out of gills, and won't eat, stays at the bottom and sinks and floats, almost like swimbladder.
My sister tried airating the water with a turkey baster for some reason and I'm afraid that's what triggered this behavior.
Please anyone, respond with advice :)
