Hello there,
I have a new female VT betta who I got about two weeks ago from PetSmart. I will admit to wishing to have done more research before buying her, because she has a 1G filtered and heated tank which I know should be bigger, but I trusted the expertise of a PetSmart employee about how big of a tank she needed and I feel bad for not having a bigger tank (but not exactly important right now).
I cycled the tank before buying her because I had read online that was important when I looked into buying a new fish, but I'm concerned because since I got her she seems to be either swollen or simply fatter than most fish.
Two of my close friends have bettas who are much thinner, and at first, I thought maybe that was just her weight, but now I'm unsure and slightly worried as I've read about different diseases such as dropsy, but don't really know how to properly identify them.
I've attached pictures (which aren't great quality, sorry!!) but if anyone could please let me know if they think she's alright, and that's just her weight, or if something could be wrong, I would really really appreciate it!
Thanks so much!
