Possibly swim bladder disease ? Don't give her food for a day then give her deshelled peas.

Is she swimming normally? If so it just looks maybe she was overfed. Their stomaches are the size of their eye They only need one of those pellets each day or one or two bloodworms at a time. If your using any freeze dried foods soak in water before feeding.

Fast her for 3 days and then offer a shelled blanched pea.

That is possible. Is her tube sticking out maybe try some breeding.

Breeding? I've never thought about doing that. Is there anither way or will the eggs just go away?

The eggs will eventually fall out if she is not bred

Breeding is not necessary and with bettas can be challenging. They will reabsorb or fall out.

Very challenging the food is next to impossible to see. The father can barley see his fry and let alone you.

Have you tried starving the fish for a couple of days? Did you know that their stomach is only the size of their eyeball and most people overfeed them?

 

[nvallejo]

I actually bread her and she is perfectly fine now

you probably feed her to much. do not feed her for a month, but I would put a week feeder in there so she does not starve. I have several neon / tetras (I think that look like that) but I think that is just fat or she could possibly lay eggs. how long has this been going on?

don't feed her for a long time, but so she does not starve, put a week feeder in and I think she will be fine. she will possibly have eggs

What do you mean a week feeder? One of those vacation feeder things?

 

[Hobgob]

Op never use a week or vacation feeder! They just pollute your water! They just sit and rot away feeding your bb. Fish can last over a week without food so why would you want them to constantly be able to eat? Also isn't this setting a fish to be bloated? Fish will eat if there is food. They obviously don't know when to stop.
