BAT Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi friends. I moved my betta to a QT because his tank got out of whack. he has been hiding inside a cave and rarely coming out over past 2 days. Today he came out and ate for the first time. I also noted a big poo in the tank (bare bottom). a few days ago I might have been over generous with the micro blood worms. do you think this is likely swim bladder given the poo and slight improvement today? Other things I should worry about or watch for? Or do? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 stressed from being moved, and possibly a little iffy from the conditions of the tank it was in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I would not make any immediate changes and just keep monitoring. Bettas are notoriously pouty about being moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I’ve had fish get constipated from bloodworms and last time thought I was going to lose one of my best platy moms. She was hiding at the bottom under a log breathing heavy for a couple hours the morning after a bloodworm dinner, with a big blob (not a string at all) of poo stuck. Luckily she recovered but I’m going to go easy on the bloodworms from now on. I had tossed in a whole cube because there are tons of fish in there but maybe she still got too many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
