Is my betta sick or is this just his coloring?

[despreauxb]

So I have a baby betta. I got him on Father's day so he's still growing. I noticed a whit blob on his chest and I can't tell if it's an illness since he seems fine, very active playing in the decor, eating. Or if just the way he is going to look. I currently have a bit of a snail issue so I'm adjusting an assaisn snail to the tank and my betta is showing interest

I’m not sure if this is actually anything to be worried about. Though you had mentioned that your baby is a male. From its body shape it looks like a female to me. And if it is a female that could just be her ovaries. My baby girl is similar. I’ll attach a photo of her so you can compare. But when they are really young sometimes stores aren’t able to tell their correct gender.

Also did you just feed the fish? Maybe it's just a full stomach.

Yeah that could be it too. It could just be bloated from eating

It just looks like it’s bloated from eating. If it doesn’t pass in a day or so, try feeding it a small piece of blanched pea.

Like 6 hours before I took the photo but I noticed it the other day, it's just taken a while to actually get a picture of it
