Betta with horrible bloat!

[emerald76]

Hi all,

I have a female betta. I was recently away and a friend over fed her a lot, without me knowing. She is now very bloated. She swims fine and appears to have no issues going up and down. What should I do?







She also seems to have some missing scales. One or two, not a ton. I'm doing water changes tomorrow. Please advise me.

Feed her Teeny tiny little pieces of mashed up pea. She looks a little constipated, poor thing.

Frozen Mysis shrimp have been recommended to me by a very smart Betta owner on another forum for bloat, rather than peas, since they get no nutrition from them.

I would fast for a couple days first, and make sure water is very clean.

Thank you!! I'll definitely try that.
