Betta Died Of Dropsy

My betta fish just died i fed it everyday several times a day could he have ate himself to death.

Betta died of dropsy. Is my betta suffering from dropsy. One of the problems with dropsy is the fact that the early symptoms can be caused by a whole range of problems. Dropsy in betta fish is not a disease itself but rather a secondary symptom of another problem going on internally.

Here are are a list of common betta dropsy symptoms you may find. But if you don t catch dropsy early enough the risk of fatality increases dramatically. I just bought a pet betta from my lfs 2 weeks ago and he died from dropsy today i ve been looking forward to having a betta for a long time and made sure to get a nice 15 gallon filtered tank with tons of live plants.

His face is very pale. Lack of appetite lethargic bottom dwelling darting to surface for oxygen laying on their side treatment. He s not swimming much and more so floating and pushing himself when he does.

Try to drop a single tiny piece in front of the betta s mouth so it can slurp up the pea before it sinks. I m a little skeptical about my lfs though. Is this all ammonia poisoning.

I let it cycle for two weeks and then got my betta from a lfs. The next part is tricky because the peas will want to sink. As pictured my betta is at the bottom of the tank the past few days.
