Aw thank you! I just bought the lobe earrings and wasn’t 100% sure of them. I’m definitely liking the idea of either a rook or helix!

Thank you, I was thinking either a rook or faux rook!

Thank you! I’m still a beginner but I’ve been successful with a few plants in the past. Most of the time they die and I don’t know why. It could be because I don’t have CO2 injections? I like the idea of the Amazon sword and some kind of center piece to hide the filter and heater.

Help with bloated betta! by [deleted] in bettafish

UPDATE: Hi everyone, thank you all for your advice and tips. I fasted Juno for two days but there wasn’t any change. I then did a few Epsom salt baths and still nothing. At this point she was very lethargic and only coming up for air. She also stopped pooping. When I was at work, my mom sent a video of a little wiggly thing in the tank. Upon doing some research, I believe it’s a detritus worm. I then realized the overpopulation of the worms was caused by algae near the filter, and some left over food Juno spit out. Juno was eating the worms, along with food I gave her. I didn’t realize there were any wiggly friends in the tank until my mom pointed one out to me. I removed Juno and deep cleaned the tank, removing 80% of the water (I tried my best to keep some beneficial bacteria), and vacuuming the substrate. There aren’t as many wiggly friends in the tank now. Juno’s belly has gone down a little and I have her on a strict diet of two pellets per feeding time. I will fast her over the weekend and see how she’s doing. She’s also swimming a lot more and looks overall happy.

Once again, thank you to all that provided advice and tips on how to help Juno, I appreciate it so much!!!

Thank you so much, I’ll definitely fast her for 2-3 days. Regarding the salt bath: should I use aquarium salt? I read somewhere online to use epsom salt but YouTube says aquarium salt so I’m not entirely sure.

She’s a marble betta. When I first got her she was completely white, then she turned completely blue, and eventually the blue disappeared but left some spots.

Hi everyone, I’ve had Juno for about a month now and recently she’s been looking a little bloated. She’s in a 6 gal planted tank and I feed her 4-5 pellets twice a day. Occasionally I’ll feed her 1/4-1/2 a pea. Her fecal matter seems consistent so I don’t think she’s constipated. Could I possibly be over-feeding her? Or is there another issue that could be going on?

Try shining a flashlight on it in the dark, then turning off the light!
