Don't use melafix with bettas. It can coat their labyrinth organ. Warm, clean water should do it.

Had the same issue with one of mine once. I pulled the other end of the tube up and broke the suction. He was fine, but freaked me out.

One of mine spent 20 minutes on the carpet once when he jumped. Had to use a spoon to scrape him up from behind an unmovable credenza.

Dunked him in tank water to get the fluff off, and back into the tank. He was totally fine, although his fins looked a bit ratty for about a month.

Hardy little guys.
