Betta Fish Digestive Problems
This results in great confusion for those trying to treat fish with constipation with betta fish being a largely hit target of the misinformation.
Betta fish digestive problems. Someone told me that it is his food is not digesting and that he is sick. However in the wild the betta fish is primarily carnivorous eating insect larvae and water bound insects. Does my betta fish have a digestive problem.
Constipation is probably the most common digestive issue for betta fish. Betta fish suffer from a number of health conditions but the good news for keepers of this fish is that these health problems can be prevented and also treated. Betta fish are omnivores in that they do eat a small amount of plant matter.
If the infections occur in the aquarium they can be easily identified and treated effectively. My betta used to be light pink. If you feed your betta a diet that consists mainly of standard tropical flake or betta pellets he may not get enough meaty protein or fiber.
I hope to clarify some of the misconceptions about constipation and treatment for bettas as well as the most effective way to bring them back to their original digestive health. I feed him wardley betta pellets. That can lead to your betta refusing food altogether or spitting it out.
