HI fellow Betta Lovers ???
I went away for work and left my betta with my mum and when I came back he had pop eye. Treated the pop eye and it seems to have resolved but he still has a bloated belly on one side? Thought it was constipation or swim bladder - so for the constipation I fed him some pea and haven't fed him for the last couple of days to flush his system. Doesn't seem to have helped and I am wondering if it is swim bladder?
He seems to float around near the tip of his tank and his now swims crooked. But he is still quick when he wants to be. Doesn't flare at his own reflection anymore but gave me a little flare yesterday morning when I first saw him. When I crumble his med into his water he tries to eat it - he still seems to have his piggy appetite!
He is much happier than when I first came back but he's definitely not his old self.
Any ideas appreciated.
