Hello y'all,

I'm trying to identify whats wrong with my Betta. Tank parameters are set, cycled, maintained.

Fish swims upright, no pineconing, a little bloated, loss of apetite, surfacing for air once every 3 minutes or so, "yawning" every 5 minutes or so.

I had initially thought she had cut her face/gil on something so I've been doing aquarium salt baths for the last 5 days, and the gil/cheek seems better but its come to a stand still and I think something else is up.

Is this a gil parasite? Could it be a tumor? Should I start a round of API general cure? Or kanaplex?

Relatively new betta owner, Ive done a ton of research and my fish has been living very happily.

Thanks for the help!
