He's become sluggish and increasingly bloated in his stomach. I doubt he'll survive, but I have no idea what could be causing this. His scales aren't sticking out like a pinecone that I can tell (indicative of dropsy) but it's quite disturbing.

I would go to the pet store and get some BettaMax...and i would treat it with that asap. It may be an internal Bacteria infection.... Bettamax does wonders with bacteria infections.

elchip....has there been waste on the bottom of his tank? He could be constipated. Stop feeding him his food and give him the mashed insides of a green pea. How much and what are you feeding him?
