Hi, My betta, Herme, is starting to develope a more fuller belly. On closer inspection today, i found that one side of it is larger than the other. I fed him some peas, yesterday and today. I've been watching and the belly hasn't shrunk.

So far the medical/preventative measures i've took. Is adding 12 drops of Aquari-sol and turned the heater up to 85 degrees.

Other than his belly getting bigger. He is acting ok. His playing in the bubble wand as usual.

Any Ideas? Help? Please?

well first stop feeding it peas and get betta food.:%):%):%) n.e way it shouldn't be anything to worry about. however if it starts to get infected then try betta max.

I have been feeding him his normal betta food. I was using peas to relieve his constipation if that is what he has. But, i've waited a few days now. And it's not looking any better.....thanks though...I have betta max on stand-by...lol.
