2 Gallon Tank Bloated betta. Need help!

[KianMan]

hey guys! so I have a betta who's got a bloated belly. in his tank he had some plants which died. could this have caused an ammonia spike? or is it because of nutrient dense food like pellets which leads to indigestion? he's been sitting at the bottom of his tank but comes to the top eagerly when I open the tank to feed him. I did a 50% water change, suspecting an ammonia spike

Do you have a test kit?

It would help if you would fill out the emergency template! And I don't want to stress you out more with everything that's happening, but a 2 gallon tank is too small for a betta, if I were you I'd get at least a 5 gal tank
However, if the betta is just a juvenile, then a 2 gallon will be good for the fish until it gets old enough that it outgrows the tank

Bloat can be caused by a few things. Like Neppley recommended, if you fill out the emergency template and are able to post a few pics, we could give you better advice...
