Constipated Betta

[eb2]

fish is acting normally, swimming normally, water params good, changing daily since notice the fully tummy, peas haven't improved him should I fast him a few days or try something else?

I heard that epsom salt works. I personally have never had a reason to use it, so maybe someone else can enlighten on dosage.

I believe you can either just add it into the tank when you do a water change (mix it with the new water), or you can give him a 'bath' in a solution of it.. hopefully someone else can help.

If not I'll try my best to get the dosage for you.

As for now, kind of cut back on your feeding, don;t starve him, but you know what i mean. You don;t want him getting sick..

If this isn't a newly bought betta you should try to figure out why he got constipated.. any ideas?
