Colu Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 What I would do is fast him for a couple of days add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons if you the bloating doesn't Go down after fasting for a couple of days then I would do Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant @Helpwithmy_snailpls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Agree with @Colu. Dont feed your betta till he looks back to shape. Overfeeding happeneds - not the end of the world. Bloodworms are not good to overfeed as they are hard for the fish to digest. Feeding just once a week on bloodworms is plenty. From now on, feed once a day with pellets/ flakes. Once a week use the brine shrimp/ blood worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
