Do Bettas eat Peas ? Has anyone here offered them peas ? Please share your experience. I saw on a web-site recently that Bettas ate peas. However, I have heard that Bettas are carnivores. This is very confusing also.

Constipation & Diarrhea: If a fish is being fed an improper diet or living in poor water conditions, it may develop these problems. Diarrhea can be caused by feeding a steady diet of frozen foods. Make sure that you thaw the frozen food in a cup of water from the tank before placing it in the tank for your fish to eat.
Constipation Symptoms: A string of feces hanging from the fish, the stomach swells, the fish is not as interested in food, and the fish acts sluggish or rests on the tank bottom. No symptoms of disease are present.
Constipation Treatment: Do not feed the fish for 2 days. Separate it from the tankmates if possible. After the 2 days feed your fish herbivore plant and vegetable foods such as romaine lettuce, green peas, algae, etc over the next 2 days. After the treatment period you need to feed your fish a proper diet of varied foods.
If the varied diet does not help, or if the constipation is severe and causing your fish much distress, it could be treated with cod liver oil. You place this directly into the fish's mouth. Place 2 drops directly into the mouth of the fish. Do this outside of the main tank. The fish should not be fed for 2 days following the cod liver oil treatment.
