I have read from multiple people on here not to feed peas to your fish. The reasoning is that it is supposed to cause constipation for your fish. However, I do not have any personal experience with this myself.
Also, Betta Care/ Betta Chat would have been viable options as well.
I've been told by oldfishlady that peas can be used effectively to treat constipation (not swim bladder issues). But you don't need to do it weekly. Fasting for a day will give you the same result, unless the fish are suffering from severe constipation.
When my fish was constipated, I fed him some frozen brine shrimp (Petco didn't have frozen daphnia), and it fixed his constipation very quickly. It's like 90% water.
