Coughing up food...

[Ralphieee]

What does it mean when your betta is coughing up little bits of something after you feed him? :( Ralphie just did that twice and I'm getting nervous! He's also spazzing out in his bowl big time when I went over to feed him. Should I be concerned? I'm going to get his big tank tomorrow and everything, so I really hope he's ok :(

Fish spit out food to break it up into smaller pieces. Obviously this won't really work with betta pellets but it will take him a little longer to ge tthe picture lol.

Kelly is right, this is perfectly normal especially with flakes
