Emergency over fed bloated fish

[joji123]

I went away for two nights and had a family members watch my two bettas. One is in a temporary 2.5 gallon and the other is on a 5.5 gallon. I just came home at around 11pm amd the water on both tanks were very cloudy and there were pallets floating every where. My fish in the 2.5 gallon was swimming around fine but both of them look so bloated. My fish in the 5.5 (blue) looks very sick and there’s a whole in his top fin. I have him in a pet store cup as I finish his tank. The yellow in the 2.5 was fine but now he won’t move much. I Immediately did a 75% water change. The ammonia levels are fine now however the pH readings DONT match any color on the sheet. Again it’s 11pm so I can’t do much when it comes to going out and buying supplies. I have SeaChem prime API quick start and the water condition Ick X at hand.
I only feed them two pellets a day. I guess my family member didn’t remember to feed just one pellet each. I’ve only had to deal with bloating once before but it wasn’t this severe. My blue fish in the 5.5 was recovering from minor fin rot already but he looks sick. Both of them do.

Well it looks like a feeding accident. But you should be giving them 3-4 pellets a day depending on the size

Fast them for the next 2 days and see if they improve. And a tip for when you go on trips. Buy a pill planner and put the amount of food for each day so they only feed that amount
But also of your gone for a week max you don’t need anyone to feed your fish

I agree with fasting them for a few days. Of course the first thing you want to do is get all the excess food out of there. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the pH level right now. Once water changes are done and all the extra food is out of there and your fish are in more comfortable conditions it will be time to look into what is going on with the pH.

Good to know. Thank you so much. They look a lot better all ready after the water change. I’ll fast them.

Also my pH is 7.6 is that alright? Normally it’s a bit lower.
