1. Overfeeding: The belly bulge of the betta may be due to the recent overfeeding. Because a lot of feeding can cause a betta to eat a lot of feed and stretch its stomach. If fed in large quantities for a long time, it will cause indigestion and affect its healthy growth.
2. Ascites disease: If the betta is infected with bacteria or parasites, it may suffer from ascites disease. Fish with this disease will swell up and become bulging in the early stage. Later, there will be symptoms of standing scales.
1. The solution to overfeeding: If this is the reason, then it is easier to deal with. As long as you reduce the number and amount of feeding per day, you can feed it once a day, and when you feed it, you can stop feeding when it is 7-8% full. As long as 1-2 days, it can recover.
2, treatment of ascites disease: If its belly drum up because of the birth of ascites disease, then more trouble. First, the sick fish was fished out and isolated, and then fed some feed mixed with oxytetracycline to sterilize it. During treatment, attention should be paid to changing water every 2-3 days to ensure clean water quality. When changing water, some salt particles can be added to the water to play a bactericidal role. Generally, the condition will improve in a week or so. If the situation is more serious, after sterilization, it is necessary to use a needle to extract the fluid from the belly of the fish.
