Answers:    Do a hose change as soon as you can. That'll raise the water power a bit, at the very tiniest give him a better casual at living for now.

If you enjoy a friend or family contestant with an established reservoir that's disease free, you can use either a handful of their gravel from the container or some filter "drippings" and add that to your filter/tank. That will almost instantly cycle your container.

If you can find some BioSpira, that should cycle your tank contained by about a week.

Otherwise, on a daily basis water change should be done till the tank is cycled, to support dilute the ammonia and nitrites. Hard to say if he'll manufacture it though, they're not the best fish to be going through the cycle process. Good luck!

EDIT: How large is the container? And are there other fish surrounded by there next to him?

Check your email, just sent you a message.
Did you agree to the tank cycle since you put him in?

Maybe he's experiencing "bright tank syndrome" and reaction the affects of an ammonia spike in the hose.


Edit:
You're not a jerk. You in recent times didn't know. No need to pulse yourself up.

It would probably be in your fish's best interest to progress back to the container he was within until the new cistern is fully cycled, but you say that you devise there is food floating around contained by there. Any food i.e. left uneaten, should be removed because it will rot and foul the wet. You might want to do a partial water rework and remove any visible food particle on his old cistern before you put him within there if you're going to verbs him.

Oh, you might also want to add some aquarium brackish (not to be confused with iodized table salt) at more or less 1/2 teaspoon per gallon to the water if you aren't already. Don't give it directly. Dissolve it in dechlorinated dampen before adding together it to your tanks. Salt act as a sort of 'tonic' for most freshwater fish and it might help your betta.

Why are you one and only filling the 10 gallon beside 3-4 gallons? The betta will benefit from the extra swimming room in in that. The larger the tank, the easier it is to contemplation for. Ammonia builds up much faster in a few gallons worth of sea than it would in 10 gallons. Just something to consider.

Test kit ordinarily come with theory test tubes and chemicals to test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, pH, and common hardness. You can buy chemical additives separately that neutralize ammonia, but they don't remove it. If ammonia or nitrites are present surrounded by the water, the best course of performance is to do 15-25% water change every few days to keep the ammonia/nitrite surrounded by check. After that, keep up next to regular water change 10-20% once a week or so. It's easy for ammonia and nitrite to build up to toxic level in small aquariums, so sort sure you're keeping on top of your routine looking after.
you should always cycle your cistern ammonia spikes and nitrite problems are the biggest killer of fish.
you should research formerly setting up a tank and getting fish,Ive have my tropical and marine reservoir for a year now Ive no unresponsive fish they were cycled properly enjoy regular water change and i keep a constant eye on the level in my cistern,i researched both tropical and marine for 6 months so i be sure of what i was getting into.
your cistern is uncycled that is why you own had a late fish yesterday and your fish is ill today
Try checking the ph. If the ph is rotten, regulate it. Try also checking the ammonia levels and increase the oxygen level.
