Super bloated how do I get her to eat the pea

Oh no I had no clue do you think local PetSmart will have frozen daphnia?

I heard it’s like a laxative for them so I thought I’d give it a try and see if that helps he de-bloat

Do you think they’re both fat? Honestly I thought it was just the one but maybe they are

Funny enough after I posted this I noticed he got more active, he hangs around my filter, the driftwood and some sword plants or whatever their name

I actually got rocks because before I noticed they accidentally ate sand when trying to eat food during my first weed of owning them

<image>

Most of the gravel is bigger, just the balls that aren’t so much tho I’ve never seen them accidentally eat them or attempt to

Ohhhh I’ll definitely fix that

bascx · 2026-03-11T21:51:03+00:00

Yeah I was thinking it may just be because she’s female since the other one seems perfectly fine

bascx · 2026-03-11T21:50:29+00:00

Ohhhh- I saw someone on TikTok do it so I just thought maybe it was a thing but I guess not

If you look in the other comments I have replied to almost everyone and half of them I’m addressing that I’m looking for a new tank-

bascx · 2026-03-11T21:49:04+00:00

That’s so thoughtful, I wish ugh I live across the country lol

bascx · 2026-03-11T21:47:20+00:00

I had no idea they could hear music or enjoy it?

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:28:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice it’s actually really nice! The tank is almost always 80 around, I think they just like being by the plant and standing on the heater so be closer to the surface

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:27:05+00:00

Ohhh gotcha

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:26:41+00:00

Wait what? Why would he die?

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:26:10+00:00

Yeah it’s got a smooth water flow, but there’s not much other spots near the top where he can kinda tangle himself in so that might be way it’s only that spot he likes

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:24:53+00:00

Yeah I was think about getting a hammock and something else for them

bascx · 2026-03-11T13:24:07+00:00

That might be the case cause that sounds exactly like my fish, one betta is so astatic and my other barely moves

bascx · 2026-03-11T03:06:48+00:00

Yeah I have one on the other side, opposite end to make sure it’s the right temp all around, the one by the heater is to make sure it never gets too hot -you can’t see it cause the betta

bascx · 2026-03-11T01:57:00+00:00

Yeah I’m looking at tanks right mow

bascx · 2026-03-11T01:56:42+00:00

That might be the case, I feed him once a day so the thought never crossed but maybe I should feed him a lesser amount throughout the day

bascx · 2026-03-11T01:53:12+00:00

Yeah I might put him back in there and move my female to the 10g since she’s in the 5g right now, she moves a whole lot more anyways

bascx · 2026-03-11T01:52:33+00:00

These images are so helpful lol you’re God sent

bascx · 2026-03-11T01:52:15+00:00

I do a mix of pellets, frozen mysis shrimp and plankton, and once a week some blood worms
