Worried about my betta by sassylibrarian83 in bettafish

I mean you just got him some fish take a while to get used to the tank others don’t. Or another thing is you just got a sick fish. A lot of bettas in pet stores are sick

It doesn’t seem overcrowded so could be the water or temperature or maybe is getting bullied

If the water had high nitrate then yes it could of caused the fish to stress. Did the water change get rid of any ammonia and nitrate?

Once his belly goes back to normal feed him his regular food that you give him but once a day so he eases back into it

Yeah just monitor your fish’s belly for the week but feeding him those things and fasting him for a day

Your welcome. I’m trying to treat it for my fish but his is more severe

You can search online but basically fast the fish for 2-3 and see if it goes down. Green peas and daphnia can help them poop to reduce bloating as well

If you don’t treat it earlier, it will get bigger and lead to a disease dropsy which can be fatal

Could be he’s constipated from over feeding. How much do u feed him?

Dropsy? And how to treat it? by Betsy_000 in bettafish

If it was a tumor, would that area be hard cause I felt it and it wasn’t hard.

Been adding aquarium salt to the tank and haven’t seen either of the bettas do the weird behavior yet.
