My betta's been eating a LOT the past few days (4 pellets twice a day) and I realized I'm probably over feeding him. It was kind of obvious by the growing size of his huge gut! I also noticed that he wasn't letting out any poop so I thought he might be constipated.
Last night I fed him some freeze dried blood worms which he actually ate this time very greedily and immediately after saw that his stomach was larger already! So I skipped his feeding this morning and bought some peas on the way home from work. When I looked in his tank I was sooooooo relieved to see a big clump of poop on the bottom, a smaller gut on my fish, and a small group of bubbles on the surface! I never thought I would be so happy to see fish poop, lol. Just thought I'd share that with everyone. I hope he'll still eat these peas I'm going to feed him. =)
