Betta Swollen Belly Not Eating

Once again the solution here is pretty simple.

Betta swollen belly not eating. He is not really moving spends most of the time resting on a plant at the top of the tank. I brought him to the fish store in my area and they told me to use epsom salt so i was using 1 tsp for 5 gallon every day and a water change with bifuran for a week i did this and nothing. My betta has had a large stomach for a day.

Hello my betta fish has suddenly developed a swollen belly and has become completely inactive. Bloat can affect one or both sides of the fish sometimes causing him to appear lopsided. He hasn t stopped eating he swims around alittle bit but he wobbles when he swims.

My betta is not eating properly for some days. I have kept him in. He still has the swollen belly.

Specific symptoms to watch out for are signs of fungi or parasites scratched or bloody fins a swollen stomach fins tucked in tight loss of color or your betta is regularly not moving. If the condition is not treated it will advance and apart from the swollen belly you will see your fish having trouble with getting enough air. While it is rare that your betta will have a tumor that causes a bloated stomach when it does happen.

He will get a little better and then swell up again. My male betta fish is swollen and he has what looks like an infection around his eyes. Though research has been done the origins of malawi bloat are still unknown.

A fish with bloat may have trouble swimming and may become trapped at the surface of the water or on the bottom of the tank. In rare cases the stomach of a betta fish could become swollen due to a disease known as malawi bloat. He s not eating food and has retreated to a corner.
