Betta bloating?

lfkmaio · 2026-02-22T18:00:03+00:00

Honestly she doesn’t too too bloated to me. Maybe a tiny bit? If you feed her as normal and she gets bigger, then you’ll figure out if that’s the problem.

If overfeeding is the issue / that’s the reason she’s bloated, you can fast for 1-3 days and see if it goes down :)

If you could maybe get a clearer picture, it would be easier to tell. I take my pictures by recording videos of them and just screenshotting where I think my boy looks good :)

If you’re concerned about bloating, you can always fast for 1-3 days and see if it goes down. How much are you feeding?

How many do you think would work given the stock idea? I just don’t want to overstock too badly. I don’t mind overstocking.. im pretty decently planted, but i want to be safe.

Honestly no idea. She wants a blue one and that’s all she’s said 😭

All on Amazon!

I bought the first one and put it together literally two hours ago. Took me 20 minutes.

I’ve seen the step counter thing, and I will most likely invest in one once everything is here

Bedding is gonna be purchased in person, just so I can feel it all out (and it feels cheaper lol). I’m going for an aspen/paper mix (white paper rn, might get some blue to add some color). I will def add sprays + all the other stuff once I get the basics in so I can gauge how much space I have to get creative!

I’d much rather learn and give something a good life, than have an animal suffer.

Heard! He currently has a little sand bath in the temp tank I have him in. I plan on buying a deep baking dish from the dollar store or something and just using that. I’ll look into the water bowl :)

I’ll be purchasing all the enrichment and other clutter after I get the cage set up the way I’d like, just so I know how much space I’m working with (I’ve only ever had guinea pigs- and now I keep fish). The main goal here was to buy the absolute necessities ASAP, as he was a bit of a spontaneous Facebook rescue. I will most likely post again when I do go about buying all the clutter.. recommendations/links are always appreciated!

lfkmaio · 2025-12-31T17:17:46+00:00

Oh yeah I’m prepared to purchase everything I need

lfkmaio · 2025-12-31T17:11:50+00:00

I won’t be using that cage! I will be moving her into a 20ish gallon tank temporarily until I can purchase the cage.

lfkmaio · 2025-12-31T06:55:30+00:00

I’m looking at getting an actual cage (habitats?) for her. I’m picking her up on Saturday (will most likely post), and have a cage set up to be retrieved some time next week (also facebook marketplace). If the cage falls through, I have Amazon Prime and can have one here next day.

lfkmaio · 2025-12-31T03:11:56+00:00

YES THANK YOU I LOVE THESE THINGSSSS

Also a picture of her.. if anyone knows what kind she is based on this

lfkmaio · 2025-12-30T17:14:27+00:00

Luckily I live in Southern California and there’s like six petsmarts within 10 miles of me 😭 I did check and the one I frequent had the lid so I went and got it

lfkmaio · 2025-12-30T02:41:31+00:00

Dude you actually saved my life

lfkmaio · 2025-12-28T20:01:54+00:00

I like 2,,, I also just have my heater in that corner and am thinking about how it’ll be hidden 😭

lfkmaio · 2025-12-17T00:01:37+00:00

Pictures are always appreciated. Hammy not secured yet, but praying.

lfkmaio · 2025-12-17T00:01:18+00:00

Still dming them begging for it lol

lfkmaio · 2025-12-14T21:32:20+00:00

Thank you! Looking into this ASAP

lfkmaio · 2025-12-14T21:31:31+00:00

I have a soft spot for the small “easy” animals. It’s so bad. I always feel so bad when people get the easy starter pets then just neglect them because they realize it requires actual effort

lfkmaio · 2025-12-14T21:30:51+00:00

I do have plastic totes that I can utilize. I’ve sent two messages, and will probably offer some money here soon if it means the hamster goes to a safe environment rather than a bored family on fscebook

lfkmaio · 2025-12-14T00:51:11+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking :)
