Betta help??? my betta isnt as responsive as normal...overfed?

Question

ok so my betta i think is overfed ive fasted him for 3 days but he hasnt gotten any slimmer. last time i feeded a pea he got a little sick from it. he might be fine cuz he just sits at the top, he just used to come up to the edge of the tank to greet u even when u were like 5 feet away. now u have to get right up to the glass and sometimes tap for him to notice u. also he didnt just sit at the top before he would swim and explore all the time... im gonna feed all my fish a tiney bit and then see what happens from there.

Answer 1

if he hasn't gotten slimmer after 3 days, i would fast him a couple of days more

if he still doesn't get slimmer, you might be dealing with dropsy here

which you can use maracyn TC for to treat

also, make sure the temperature is 78 degrees at all times
