I think my betta is starting to have a bloated tummy, this picture I took is after I fed him but sometimes it remains like that. I don't know if it is overfeeding, I feed him once a day and about 6-8 little grams of betta food (they are grammed food not pellets).
Since I didn't find epsom salts anywhere here, I'm going to fast him for a few days and see if it overfeeding or constipation.
So question is, how long can I fast him for without affecting his health?
2-3days?
p.s: he's a little pale because I just took this picture and he's always pale in the morning. (as if stressed)
I do wonder why. But he kinda recovers a few minutes later.
Also is it normal for sometimes a non pure bred betta to lose color over time?
He used to be super brightly colored but now he's always a faint color to what he used to be, the temp is fine, water conditions are fine, he has light from his led lamp. Maybe whoever breeded it used colored foods or colorants or something?
It doesn't bother me too much I do miss his beautiful colors.
