I noticed about three days ago that my betta doesn't seem to be pooping. Like he tried, but is unable to really get it out, and it's just been sitting there for days. I've managed to get some pictures, and he's looked pretty much the same since I noticed. But despite this, he's still been acting fine. Swims just as actively as always, and eats eagerly when I feed him, which I've been doing less of just in case.
I feed him frozen blood worms and the occasional dried blood worm. I will admit that it's possible I've been overfeeding him a bit, but he never seemed bloated.
I've had fish in the past become constipated and get internal parasites, but he doesn't act at all as those fish did, so I'm not sure what that is or if it's something I even need to worry about.
I've had this betta for about a month now. The 5 gallon tank has been running for much longer, so it's fully cycled and all that. Weekly water changes, and the perimeters look fine to me.
PH: 7.4
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5.0 ppm
Temp: 79F/26C
