strange bloating condition
hi guys,
I just wanna find out why my female betta lately has this strange bloat. She floats on the surface of the water, but she takes her regular meals and swims alright, but most of the time she is just resting by floating still. It's been going on for one week already but there are no signs of dropsy. appreciate any advice, thanks a lot!! funkychips.

Are the scales raised? As if like a pine cone? If yes, then she most definitely has dropsy... A really deadly disease, 50-50 chance of survival with medication.... Use maracin 2, kanamycin or tetracyclin to treat...
If no raised scales, could be constipation... Feed food with laxative properties, like daphnia, or thawed green peas... Read up this site http://www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases.htm

hi dude, thanks for replying,
Guess it went off already...she's gone back to normal swimming mode. No, she's not puffed up like a pine cone, her tummy's just normal but only thing is that she floats. She floats when she swims, she floats when she pecks her pellets, she sleeps while floating....and now she's back like nothing's happened! I suspect dropsy too...but no signs of it...I'll take ur advice to feed laxative stuff...thanks!
