goldfishgeek Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 412 Votes: 38 Registered: 27-Oct-2003   | The change in temperature in his tank is not good - How much does it rise by? that will not make for a happy betta Feed him a pea - take the skin off the pea first. and see if he poops(great way to spend a couple of hours.) if his scales aren't sticking out like on a pinecone then he could just be constipated a pea (vegetable) will move things along! Try to work out a way to keep his temp the same all the time. drops in temp cause problems - can you get a small heater? or put him in a room where the weather doesn't affect the temp?
