Bucio Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Iv noticed that after 1st getting a few female betta to start a sorority tank the two bigger ones look bloated. Not sure if its dropsy or they’re filled with eggs or food. From the top they dont look pine-coned and I Treated them with paraguard, general cure and maracyn for one week. They looked fine so I transferred them over. But every day they seem a little bigger and bigger. There is one male betta in the tank. Sorry for the bad photos. I tried my best to get good photos. My acrylic tank kind of warps the picture and the other one moves alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hmm it’s hard to say. They look a little too bloated to me for it to be just eggs, but I’m not a betta expert. Have you tried fasting them? What kind of food are you feeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 She looks either really constipated or really eggy. I would try fasting and then feeding daphnia (it helps move stuff along). If that doesn't work she could be egg-bound. I have no experience with that but there's a lot of betta keepers on this forum who may be able to help out. Because there's no pine coning I don't think it's dropsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) One definitely looks stressed, i am pretty sure those horizontal bars are stress bars. I am wondering with hobbit, what kind of food and how much? how long ago did you get them? Edited December 10, 2020 by Dancing Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
