Latishcia Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I just got her at my local pet store yesterday. I acclimated her plus my golden mystery snail into my tank when I got them. And today I noticed she has a swelling like she's bloated. I feed her just a little bit this morning. She is in a 5 gallon tank planted tank. Should I put her in a hospital tank and dose her with some general care or what should you think I should do or just leave her be and just watch her. Plus if anyone know what type of betta she is. Please let me know. Now I'm worried about her. I tested yesterday before placing them in my tank Ammonia 0 nitrites 0 Nitrates 5.0 Edited July 30, 2022 by Latishcia Wanted to add my water parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 What I would do is fast her for a couple of days as it could be suffering from constipation or over eaten if you notice no improvement after fasting than I would do Epsom salt bath 1 table for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes for a couple of days the Epsom salt Acts as a muscle relaxant to help relieve constipation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latishcia Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well she looks more bloated this morning. So I just took her a Epsom salt bath I did 1 tablespoon per gallon for 10 minutes. And now she is in my hospital tank. Still, fasting from yesterday. With Catappa leave and API stress coat. With a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
