I've had a female betta sorority of 3 for nearly 6 months or so in a 20 gal tank with snails and they have been doing fine with water changes and such... One of my bettas today during a normal water change i noticed she was breathing heavy and noticed a significant bulge near her midsection and she seems to be laying on her side more and to the bottom of the tank... from what ive read this seems to be swim bladder or constipation??? shes still active and playing with her sorority sisters but at times wants to be alone. i have pictures can anyone confirm this and give any advice on what to do for her???? Ive not dealt with swim bladder before should i quarintine her from the others?? any and all suggestions would be much appreciated!! thankyou!!
