overfeeding

Hi! New member here. First post. This just happened perhaps 30 minutes ago. I left my room to do laundry and when I came back, my nephew had my betta fish tank open and had dumped a lot of pellets into the tank! I do not really know how many my fish ate but when I got there, he had eaten...

So, Saturday night (it's now Monday, for those of you who might be a bit ahead of me) I got a male Betta. He's beautiful and seems to be happy. I've been giving him two pellets of food per day, as I've seen suggested online. Today, when I got home from work, my very helpful and well-meaning...

My father came to visit me a couple of weeks ago. Now he has fed my fish before without any issues so I didn't think anything of it. I was planning to go out with friends so I thought it would be fine to have him feed them. I showed him on my computer where the exact detailed instructions were...

I have a female betta sorority and they are all doing great with each other. One of my girls is very bloated right now however the other girls are just fine. I've noticed that after she eats my flake food she swims down and trys to eat the corycat's food. I know she's bloated because she's...

Hi. Please help me. I have a beautiful double tail Betta I bought from PetSmart about 2 years ago. I keep him in a 5 gallon tank that uses a charcoal filter system. I keep the tank between 78-81 consistently. I do 75% water changes every 1-2 weeks. I feed him pellets and freeze dried...

I have owned male Betta fish before that have lived quite long lives but this was my first female and the first to develop illness. I have had a very small female Betta fish for about two weeks and she has seemed very healthy and active until this morning. When I saw her this morning, she...

My Male betta I feed my male 7 small betta pellets every day. He eats 4 in the morning and 3 at night. Every 5 days he gets 3 pellets in the morning and 3 blood worms at night. I feed him every day because I feel really bad about starving them for a day and he is battling fin rot so I don't...

The title of the thread says it all. I looked at Triangle tonight and noticed this thing hanging off of him between the ventral and anal fins. Is that poop? I've actually never seen my guy poop before, and I sort of thought that it'd come out behind the anal fin, though I've recently learned...
