I've had my male betta for just over a year now, and he's recently become bloated. Dropsy being the disease I fear seeing most, I immediately started freaking out. I took pictures of him (I had to put him in a cup, he spent most of his time hiding at the bottom), and from the top, his scales look raised.
But... It only looks like his middle is swelled, not the entire body. And I heard somewhere that some constipated bettas get raised scales (don't know if this is true or not...?).
I'm really hoping its constipation because I don't want to lose him. The two of us have been through a lot this past year...
