If anyone is knowledgable on betta fish I would appreciate some help. We have a male betta in a 5 gallon filtered and heated tank. We did a 100% water change about two weeks ago (we rarely do a full change but we relocated his tank and thought it was a good time to do a full clean) and I've noticed he's become very lethargic. He lays on the bottom of the tank and seems to be gulping for air. His color is also dull. No other signs of physical illness. We did treat the water and let it cycle 24 hours before we returned him to the clean tank. Just tonight we did a 25% water change and treated with stress coat. I'm just not sure what to do next....
