Betta fish with swollen chest/ upper belly? After his last water change a couple days ago, my male betta (had him 2 1/2 years) started to look swollen behind/under his gills where those two long tendril-like fins hang down. It has gotten worse in the last day, and he is sitting on the bottom alot. He is still eating. Should I stop feeding him? Add salt? (I have iodized AND epsom salt here) Feed him a peeled and cooked green pea? It's not dropsy - his scales are smooth. If anyone wants to see pics, email me at cmorsey@yahoo.com and I'll send them to you. Thanks! I love my little guy and want to help him if I can! |
