Betta sick?

13 years ago

My 2 yr old female betta has a huge lump on one side. I thought it was like a swolen swim bladder so i gave her a pea. but the swelling hasnt gone down. She seems fine the only problem is that she cant swim in the 30 gallon with everyone else. she will just sit onthe bottom. I put her in the breeders net and she acts fine. Whats wrong with her?

I would put her in a heated 2-1/2 gallon tank, and maybe fill it with 3/4 of water, so it's easier for her to come up for air. I do not know what the lump is on her side. Maybe a vet can help out. Good luck.

well, i found out it was constipation/bloat. It told me to feed her peas but she didnt want to eat them :( so she just got worse and worse

rest in peace fishie

Sometimes we tend to overfeed our beloved bettas. I'm sorry your girl died.
