    Alright, this is a very long story but I’ll try to keep it short, please check out my other post from the past couple weeks for even more info!! My betta Pip has been sick for about 2 weeks now. It happened very suddenly. One day he was fine, the next he started eating less, the next he stopped...

    Hi everyone. I’ve posted on here a good bit for the 3 bettas I’ve had, but haven’t posted much for this 3rd betta because he’s been so lovely and I felt like I really learned from my other two who have since passed. Pip, our current betta, has been such a great fish and so fun and active. He...

    Hi everyone, my boy Apollo has been extremely bloated for over 2 weeks. I’ve tried fasting him to no avail. I’m having trouble getting a clear picture of both sides of his stomach, but one side is a bit bigger so he looks kind of lopsided. He is acting completely normal and happy. He is swimming...

    I’ve had my betta for well over a year and he’s been really happy. After a water change last week he suddenly became really ill, hasn’t swam around much and is bloated (as per the pictures) but won’t touch any food. I’ve added swim bladder treatment to the water three days ago but no joy. I’ve...

    Hi everyone! I’ve had my betta, Vito, for 2 years now. He’s a koi betta, so I know he’s prone to small scale tumors. He’s living in a 10 gallon tank by himself. The parameters are within normal with the exception of salinity (more on that in a minute). He was fine until I got COVID. I was...

    Hello, I just joined this forum so forgive me if formatting is off, but my betta Algae has been bloated on one side for 2 weeks now. I am stumped as to what it could be and very worried, he has been my best friend for two years. I have completed 7 days of fasting with him, 3 days fast, one day...

    Our fish has had wasting and bloat (..not like dropsy but also not like pure constipation) for awhile. We ultimately suspected worms. Maybe camallanus. But not what we expected. Within an hour of feeding Fish fenbendazole dewormer medication, he had this thing hanging from him that sort of...

    Hi, this is my little guy Squish. I’ve had him since October 2019 with little to no health problems along the way. He is in a heated &filtered 5-gallon tank with places to hide and silk plants throughout. About 3 days ago I noticed he may have been starting to show signs of swim bladder disease...

    Stomach starting growing 2 days ago, diet is strictly BettaMin flake medley, rejects anything else. Will go up to top and bottom of tank, is perfectly active. I can’t tell if his scales are pineconed or he’s just fat. He gets fed a lot because we love him so much, maybe a little too much. Can...

    Hi guys! About two months ago I got a dumbo ear male who, since practically the first week, has been having health issues related to bloat and swim bladder disease. I started feeding him azoo flakes, but stopped after the first episode of bloat, then I gave him pre-soaked bettabit pellets (i...

    Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 3.5 Does it have a filter? Yes Does it have a heater? Yes What temperature is your tank? About 74 degrees Does your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration? No Does your Betta have tank mates? What kind? No Food: What food brand do you use? Omega...

    I recently returned home after 1.5 weeks away. I had a friend house and pet sitting. 2 days after I got home, my betta Fish Mooney, started swimming on his side. I thought he may have been overfed, causing the bloating, so I fasted him for 2 days thinking that would help his bloating. Then...

    Hello all, I was very excited to share a few months back that I had bought a truly beautiful betta named Lazuli from import and breeder Glee Bettas. He arrived in tip top shape and had the personality of a golden retriever - never aggressive or shy, always curious and friendly. Didn't seem...

    My Betta fish, Gustav, has been pooping in small amounts. They aren't solid brown so I am assuming he has constipation. I've been doing the Epsom salt method for a few days now in attempts to reduce his bloat. I was wondering, will peas help with constipation? I would like to hear your personal...

    Hi everyone! I am new to this thread so please be patient with me ;; I stumbled upon this website due to the current condition my betta fish is in. I've been researching around and found this little betta fish community because I ran out of options, I hope you guys can help me out here! I have...

    Before I begin, I’d like to say that my concern has a LOT of context behind it, and I would greatly appreciate it if you read everything in my post before answering. It’s the only way to get the full details and really narrow down the possibility of TB being the culprit. On that note, let me...

    my betta has had constipation/sbd for a little over a month now. i've been trying since day 1 to get rid of it, tons of fasting, pea feeding, epsom salt bathing, diet switching. i am now doing a long term epsom salt treatment plan where he stays in quarantine under moderated epsom salt...

    My crowntail suffers from chronic SBD, most likely genetic as I've tried literally everything on the list for the past month and a half other than daphnia. (Peas, epsom salt, bacterial/parasitic medication, fasting.) My last resort is daphnia before I ultimately may have to put him to sleep...
