What does a dying betta fish look like and how can I recognize the signs of a betta fish in distress?

A dying betta fish may appear lethargic, have clamped fins, faded color, and may struggle to swim or breathe. Signs of distress in a betta fish include loss of appetite, gasping at the water's surface, unusual swimming behavior, and visible physical injuries or abnormalities. It is important to monitor your betta fish closely for any of these signs and seek veterinary care if needed.
