What is the reason for Betta's bulging belly and how to deal with it

Overfeeding: the bellied Betta may be due to overfeeding recently. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the number and amount of feeding every day, instead of feeding once a day, and stop feeding every time when it is 70-80% full. Ascites disease: it may also be due to ascites disease. At this time, the sick fish needs to be fished out and isolated, and then fed with some feed mixed with oxytetracycline for sterilization. If the situation is serious, after sterilization, you still need to use a needle to pump out the effusion in the fish belly. 1、 What are the reasons for Betta's bulging belly? 1. Excessive feeding: Betta's bulging belly may be due to excessive feeding recently. Because a large amount of feeding will cause Betta to eat a lot of feed and make the stomach hold up. If you feed a lot for a long time, it will lead to dyspepsia and affect its healthy growth.

2. Ascites disease: if Betta is infected with bacteria or parasites, it may suffer from ascites disease. The stomach of fish with this disease will swell and become bulgy in the early stage. There will be symptoms of scaling in the later stage. 2、 How to deal with Betta belly bulging? 1. Solution to excessive feeding: if this is the reason, it is easier to deal with. As long as the daily feeding frequency and feeding amount are reduced, feed once a day instead, and stop feeding when it is 7-80% full. As long as 1-2 days, it can recover.

2. Treatment of ascites disease: if its belly bulges because of ascites disease, it will be more troublesome. First, the sick fish was fished out and isolated, and then some feed mixed with oxytetracycline was fed to kill bacteria. During treatment, pay attention to changing water every 2-3 days to ensure clean water quality. When changing water, you can add some salt particles to the water to play the role of sterilization. Generally, the condition will improve in about a week. If the situation is serious, after sterilization, you still need to use a needle to pump out the effusion in the fish belly.
