Helpwithmy_snailpls Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hello,My betta grew a bump in the bottom of his neck you could say and I don’t know if that supposed to be there or if he is growing or if I feed him to much and he got fat.Here’s a picture of a test from the water.I feed him once a day usually 4 pallets but then he started to gain so I been feeding him 2 pallets for about 5 days and let me know you thoughts please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Pictures of the fish and what you are talking about would help greatly. Also is this the same tank with the sick snail that is experiencing ammonia and cycle issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpwithmy_snailpls Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Yes and sorry I can’t get a good picture because he moves a lot and his front fins are in the way would you like a video better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A video is great. Upload it to YouTube then post the link. That’s the supported format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpwithmy_snailpls Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Also the two fins on the bump looks like it’s turning kinda black and going to fall off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpwithmy_snailpls Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Oh I guess the bump has always been there but still his fins that are on the bump are kinda looking weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcarlson Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) At this point, I don't think I'd be too worried about the betta. It's hard to tell from the video, I don't see anything obvious wrong. My guess would be that the betta has been a bit overfed. It's easy to do. Would say to stop feeding him for a couple days. Make sure he's pooping. And then you can go from there. Fish can go for DAYS without eating. I just fasted one of my big discus for three days, she was just fine. Your betta doesn't look unhealthy, he'll be perfectly fine without eating for awhile, I wouldn't hesitate to fast him a week if he were my fish. Plus there's always something in the tank that he might nibble on anyway. This will also help you with your cycling issue in your snail thread. You're doing a great job... observation is the basis of the hobby. While it might seem hectic at the moment, if you're good at watching your fish/snails, you will do quite well in the long run!
