I have a new betta fish in a fish bowl, not a tank, and its been really active and pretty aggressive. Well, on friday I did a 100% water change, the way I was advised to, and now it looks sick. He stays at the top of the tank with his mouth touching the surface. He hasn’t eaten much since Friday, I even tried to mash up his food. I feed him wardley essentials pellots. He actually looks like he’s attacking the pellot, but then cant get it into his mouth. I’m afraid that he’s gonna die and that I’m a 2 week fish killer.

Does anyone know whats wrong or what I should do?!
okay, thanks!! The only thing that’s weird is that he used to be able to eat that food and since the water change, he’s pretty sad and listless.

I used a water conditioner, too, but its a good idea to check the pH levels. Thank you all for your quick responses!!
