Yeah I'm hoping he's well.

We actually feared we were going to lose our crowntail a little more than a month ago. He looked rotty and was hardly swimming. So we took him out of his tank to a bowl so we could ensure his water was 100% clean and pretty much figured him for death in a few days.

Within a week he was not only still alive, but back to his normal betta life.

I still have no idea what that was all about. Moral of the story - these bettas can make miraculous comebacks.

I fasted him last night and I just gave him a piece of pea ona tooth pick adn he actually ate it! Now is that dedication to fish or what when you go as far at to feed him from a tooth pick!

I told his owner and she said it's not your fault your not responsible for his illness. She has had him for like a year but Ithink he was old whenshe got him.

Ihave no idea who fed him over the weekend I know i didn't and he ate yeste day just 3 pellets and then BOOM bloats ville!

I hope he poops soon man he is ginormus in the belly

That's nothing, I use tweezers when Pinky gets his pea! We do love our cup puppies. I am glad he ate it and hope his belly gets back to normal.*PEACE!*

He was goo for a day now hw bloated up again. Ihave fed him one pellet day before last so that was monday and I h=gave him one today. He is hanging out on top of his plant and swims down to the bottom then back to hang out on the plant again.

I will have to try the pea again and see if that will get things going for him
