Do you have a bloated betta fish under your care right now and you just don't have any idea what caused it and what to do about it? Fortunately, the solution to the bloated betta problem is easy.
Is your betta fish behaving normally, swimming properly, eating properly, and darting about its habitat in a normal, happy-go-lucky manner, the only exception being that it has this huge bulge on its underside? The good news is that your bloated betta problem is not life-threatening, if treated quickly.
It is entirely possible to cure your betta's bloating by following the proper procedures for treatment.
Your bloated betta problem is more than likely the result of one of two key variables: 1.
How well are you taking care of your fish's habitat.
2.
How well are you feeding your fish? If you aren't following through on either of the above two key aspects of betta care properly, then it is entirely inevitable that your fish would suffer some sort of malady whose symptoms are bloating.
Identify what you're doing wrong in either of these two departments, and you will be able to correct the problem and will be able to prevent it from ever happening again.
While it's not initially life threatening, it can lead to serious problems later in the fish's life if left untreated.
But fortunately, treatment of the problem is not overly complex.
But it does require patience and persistence.
It could take several days or weeks for the bloating to completely subside.
