he's been overfed as well noticed the big round under his mouth where his stomach area is. that's a sign that there was very likely overfeeding of your betta. how much food are you feeding it per day and what are the water parameters temperture, ammonia, nitrites etc. Please advise so we can assist you further.

I dont think Ive been overfeeding, put like 2-3 pellets a day and parameters are ok

 

Is your temperature around 78 to 82? Also when was your last water change? Asking to cover bases

 

We need exact parameters to help efficiently.

Also what is the size of the tank, temperature of the water, and what food is he being fed?

Changed water like yestarday. and yes it is at about 79

Okay, the whole amount or 50%, etc? How often do you normally do it. And does your betta tank have a filter?

ammonia 0.02 Nitrite 0.25 Nitrate 15 5 gal tank and 79 water live brine shrimp food

 

Do you know the pH by chance?

brine shrimp will cause swim bladder disorders if fed too often, and can cause constipation. It is best to feed as only a dietary supplement.

The nitrite in your aquarium should be at 0ppm, anything more than that is toxic to your fish. The ammonia should also be at 0ppm.
it appears you are in a fish-in cycle.

I would suggest 50% water changes daily and fasting your betta until his bloat goes down

It probably wouldn't hurt to get some betta leaves and put one in the tank to help give antibiotic properties in the mean time as well since his immune system might be a little low from all the stress. Also try to keep him in lower light so he can relax and recoup.

Ill try that

 

Based on your water parameters your fish is likely suffering from the ammonia and Nitrites in the tank. Your tank is cycling currently which takes time. Daily 50% water changes should help the betta survive until the tank is done cycling

When you see him poop again that will be a great sign. I know that sounds weird but think of it this way. When you are bloated and don't feel good, you feel better after a good poop. Keep us updated and we are all here to help. I'm sure you are worried sick and we all can sympathize with that pain. I hope he gets to feeling better soon!
