Mystery Bloat Betta

[rocktrns]

I noticed my betta getting bigger and bigger then I didnt feed him for2 days then he went back down again now after hes back on his normal diet I noticed acouple of days ago he is huge. I dont think he has dropsy because he swims normally,and his scales dont stick out. What should I do? I dont have another tank to separate him either

Any help?

Have you tried a blanched pea only the inside off it remove the skin then fast him. What do you feed him?

 

[rocktrns]

I feed him tetramin. Its bigger I think its filled with water.

Is he in the tank on his own? Wondering if he's stealing someone else's food. My betta bloated really badly when he stole an algae wafer.

 

[rocktrns]

He is in a 20 gallon with lots of other fish. I do use algae wafers.

It looks like he is over eating. Definitely do the pea.

How much and how often do you feed all the fish?

 

[rocktrns]

Once a day are you sure its over eating he is huge and its just his stomach!
