fasting

Hello, today I looked at my boy and I felt like maybe he's a bit bloated. The photos aren't great, but I didn't wanna annoy him for too long with the lamp I turned on. But he wasn't like this yesterday. Should I fast him a few days? Lately I have been giving him 3 larva Tetra Betta Sticks...

I have been searching the forums and not found the answer to either of these questions. If I am wrong and there is one, the mods may feel free to delete this after some redirection. So my first question is about food! I give Jack Aqueon Betta Food pellets and Aqueon freeze dried blood wormies...

I'm a new betta keeper and have gotten Gandalf, my betta, on a regular feeding schedule. I've had him for a week now and am curious about fasting. I've heard some pros, but haven't heard any cons from experienced betta keepers. Can anyone list some Pros and Cons? Also, how many keepers...

I read somewhere that because bettas get constipated really easily, it's better for them if you fast them for a day and then give them half of a thawed out but once frozen pea the next day? Is there any truth to this? Has anyone tried it?
