I recently got my first female betta when she was quite young. She is starting to get bigger and I saw her egg spot for the first time today and got confused. Glad to know she is healthy & normal :)
I'm so glad you mentioned crown tail and showed a picture. I got a female from the local fish store with not much information on her. So when I got her home and noticed how round she was I was, I was thinking the worst dropsy, egg bound, bloat etc. Thank you now I know she's supposed to look like that ❤

This helped me so much! My crown tail looks like the one you pictured and I was starting to get worried because I couldn't find anything online. 😭 I now know after looking at more pictures, she's just normal. 😅 Just a worry wort I guess! Thank you Kasia 💕
Ur welcome..glad to help! When I got my first crowntail female I was so worried when she got chunky. I had to ask other people in the betta community and they helped me so now I'm trying to spread the information. 💙
@@CreativePetKeeping YOU HAVE NO idea what you have done for my anxiety level and for Misses "Button May! My new rescue Betta I recued for $2.00 1.5 weeks ago I ask the manager if she had a Tumor or If she was pregnant/carrying eggs as she look a but deformed and she said "impossible" well she has gotten a bit bigger but she is so darn happy swimming with the kuhlis and tetras in her new 30gallon tank but yesterday I read it could be dropsy and I put her in a hospital tank..... or she could be prego!!!!! I've been so dam sad! I've joined so many groups on fb like the psycho fish mom I am U ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT H3LP ME!!! Thank you :( seriously!!!!!
Just got a female crowntail and I have her in a divided tank with my male. They occasionally see each other. I was so scared she had dropsy or something. Thank you for this video. She’s very active and I have no problem feeding her so I kinda knew she was just fertile. I’m glad this video put my mind at ease lol
same with mine I just got a female bet ta a few days ago. she is in a divided tank with my male betta they saw each other the whole day today, but when I got back home she was pale (it could've been stress or too small of a tank) so I tried feeding her and put her in a bottled water bigger tank her color came back 5 mins later and she's swimming a lot but she just got a bit bloated maybe she's constipated by the stress of seeing him for a whole day or maybe she has eggs I noticed her stomach a little bloated after I fed her a pinch of bloodworms.. which might have been too much (she didnt eat much all day though)I hope she makes the night.. if anyone sees this please tell me what you think
This helped a lot. I have a 20 gallon community tank, and added a smaller sized crown tail female a few days ago only to notice her tummy today! This helped a whole bunch.
This video is great! I have a female Koi Betta with a pale torso and I totally saw eggs in there, glad to know I can just fast her for a couple days. This was very helpful, and your diagram is very cute.
I just bought a tiny baby betta crowntail. I noticed her egg last week and then she got superrr big. She is pretty light in color and I could see the eggs. I was like you poor thing, I hate when I feel eggy every month 🤣 Thank you for this video I didn't know crowntails had that shape or where their intestines/stomach are in relation to their reproductive organs. Your diagram was super cute! Thank you so much
After u saw her being eggs did y betta act differently or stop eating. Also did she get back to normal after a while.Sorry I not having luck online searching and I need straight answers.Thankm
Sister this was sooo helpful! Well done! I just got my 1st Crown tail female… usually have other types of betas and have had difficulty with keeping them healthy! Using a 15 gallon tank that reads healthy but lots of fun rot. Oddly the plecos snails and Corey’s have been fine? So when I saw the belly form on the crown tail a few days after I brought her home I got worried! This video has put my mind at ease! It looks like you know what you’re taking about. Thank you from Colorado!
My female betta has a white thing sticking out of the egg spot and the male dont have a bubble nest nor is helping push out eggs because for some reason the female hides from the male
Thank you so much for mentioning that crowntail bettas naturally tend to have that look! This is exactly the information I was needing to hear. I just bought four female bettas in Hope to do a sorority with them. One of them is a crowntail female and she was the only one out of them that had the bulge. I was researching trying to figure out if she was egg bound or trying to lay eggs.
I have been thinking and worrying my female betta is sick coz she's a blue crowntail and her belly is just huge! But she's very active infact a little judgmental towards another mate in the female betta sorority tank. This was helpful in realising that she's just carrying eggs. Thanks a lot!
I have trouble sexing my bettas as they all have the long fins which denote a male. Also, I have heard you can determine the sex of the fry at the egg stage but controlling the water temp. Is this true and if so what are the water temps to use.
From what I've heard from fish breeders, controlling the gender of the fry only seems to work with some species. Betta breeders have told me that temp does does affect gender ratios in bettas but exposure to certain hormones does. Some farms overseas use this method..but it does have adverse effects on females such as infertility or very low egg production. I need to do more research because its an interesting topic.
Thank you for making this video!! Most articles online basically say: you fed your female too much and if she doesn't release those eggs she's going to die! 😭 I have my first crowntail, and she is plump even though I really watch what I feed her and I fast all my fish one day a week. But I have noticed she will get super huge, and then go back to just looking plump!
This helped calm my nerves. My female Betta has gotten big recently and it's probably because I rescued a sick male and after I got him back to health I placed him in the same tank. It has dividers.
THANK YOU for this lovely video. I just brought home 4 young female bettas that I plan to put together. They are adorable and so happy to see another betta through their temporary plastic containers. I think they were quite lonely before. Now they can all play together. Please keep your videos coming!! USA
Please more on female bettas. I lose my females before my males. They get more health issues, and I've wondered more than once if they were eggbound, or constipated. Or I would really love a video on first aid kits for fish. Medicines you should keep around, and what they're used for.
My cousin had to quickly rehome her betta to me because the betta was getting sick and my cousin couldn't properly take care of her. She has some fin rot and I was concerned with how bloated she looked. I have been searching for hours to find a reason for this and nothing seemed to line up. She has been eating and swimming just fine. Only now do I find out that it is normal for female crowntails to have big bellies 😑... Thanks for this great, informative video and for saving me from panicking! ❤
One vet told me, my female betta was egg bound and either she mated to lay the eggs or she would develop dropsy and die.... I got her one male then I realized his body was too small and he was somehow weak /ill.... so I got the biggest male and she rejected him ... now I ended up with 3 bettas (means 3 tanks) and my female is so big that her tummy is getting purple spots I am afraid she might die , she also has constipation, I have tried fasting her, then feeding the chickpeas and now I will try the epson salt. :(
I have a koi plakat female betta for 4 months and since I had her stomach been bloated. She very active and eat normal. Her scales are slowly marbling and some became holographic. Should I be concerned or should I treat her with medicines?
Thanks for answering my question, although I would have appreciated more info, particularly about how to help a female betta "resolve" back to her normal shape. Cute cat! LOL! : )
Thank you! I have 5 female crown tails in with Discus and they are all so chucky! They get a combo of flake, freeze dried worms, vibram bites and frozen blood worms. I will try and worry less!
I have a pair of bettas where the male already made the bubble nest but the female doesn’t look pregnant will she get pregnant after few there of been with him or I need to find another female need help please thank you
Hi, It's been three months since my last comment, she has yet to reduce in size. She is indeed a crowntail. I believe my previous comment might be the last one. No pineconing, she is actinic normal, but her belly is white. She never absorbed the eggs any suggestions? Wish I could send pics through here, you are literally the only one out of dozens of videos I've watched that truly has explained it to the T! You are appreciated 💛
ok quick question. i placed my female betta tanks next to a male betta tank. the next day she dropped 3 tiny eggs in her tank. the male betta didnt even build a nest yet. is it advisable to place her inside a plastic bottle with the bottom cut (partition to protect the female) and place it in the male tank?
Hello i have a question i got my female betta last friday and she has a stomach and i can see the white egg spot sticking out when does she lay her eggs im kinda want to see the babies lol im waiting for progress😆😆
I do wanna know because my female eats the pellets but is able to pass food..I've seen her poop clearly before..but I've introduced her to my male a couple times separated of course and she seems bigger..I still don't know if it's her being bloated or pregnant
i recently git 1 betta fish being sold as a male but now i think it is female with an egg spot. does she need more friends. she is ina community tank with green rasbora and otto cinculus and amano shrimp
My betta does poop and has a white patch under her stomach, it is inflated and she is for some reason on the bottom of the tank just very lazy. She did have contact with male. I don’t know if she’s pregnant or not...
Hey Kasia. Thanks for all your videos. I really like the content and find it very useful. On the other hand I have a bit of a problem. My male betta seems to have a bloated stomach. Can you maybe advise me on the treatment or something please.
Hi! I watched your video earlier because I noticed my female betta was bloated. Now I just saw her eating sand!! I also saw her poop it out and eat it again?! What's up with that? Otherwise she seems happy and active.
Galaxy says thanks for the advise and my Mama is putting me on a fast followed with some blood worm treats afterwards🐟😉 🤓🤣 Answered all my questions perfectly ‼️💖 Your great at what you do 💯. Thanks Girl 👊😎
My female Betta has retained her eggs for 2 years now, and has become more eggy so she is blowed up with eggs. Is there a safe way I can get the eggs out of her without hurting her? I have no male for her to spawn with. Both my males died last year.
kasia, you have been such help with my fish journey . i have been wanting a betta for a few year but had been putting it off for too long (tbh i was scared i was gonna mess something up 😓) by the time i was ready, i had been watching the unicorn bucket babies, and saw they were ready to be sold, and i obviously got hyped. by the time i had gone on the site there was like one betta left, and by the time i went back to buy it, gone :( about a week ago i took the plunge and i bought my first female betta from a LFS. after i brought her home i had notice she was a bit bloated and of course i got nervous, but after looking a bit closer i saw her egg spot was pretty prominent so after a few quick google searches i found out she is gravid :) and doesnt seem to sick. i honestly would love to breed in the future, but she seems like such a mixture of things (i bought her as an assorted female, but she looks like a metallic black combtail, but she has yellow in-between her anal fin spines and has this light blue almost lavender in-between her caudal fin spines, and the rest is black with a little blue shimmer very interesting looking 😂) so im not to interested in breeding her, i plan on her being just my pet but it would be defiantly interesting to see what her offspring would be. i just want to say thank you so much for the videos, you have inspired a ton of fish lovers and thats amazing. i strive to keep my fish as happy as yours, keep up the great work kasia!
My female is laying eggs. Making a bubble nest and holding them in get mouth.. never had a betta like this before... so I just don't feed her so she can absorb the eggs?
I've got 2 females Bettas that usually are swimming around happily but this past 5 or 6 days they've been laying behind plants or rocks hiding and only coming out to eat also one female looks to have a prolapsed but it's gone back in on its own, I have bred this female twice but the other one I have not. There in a community tank with sword tails angel fish and danios. Also any tips or tricks to get the males to stop eating the eggs during spawning I've got a galaxy koi plakat that's done it twice
You are so cute! Thank you so much for the info and help! My boyfriend and I just got a female crown tail and she is getting big! I am no longer worried thank you!
so I just got a betta today and i googled "how do you know when your betta fish is pregnant" and I am very confused if she is or not because I can see her egg spot out and her stomache looks big and she isn't constipated because I was watching her closly and watched her so it would be helpful if you could reply and help me out.
I have a female crown tail and she stays bloated for a couple days then I'll fast her and she'll start getting better. But when she eats she gets bloated. I know its not dropsy I've medicated her in a tank by itself for 10 days and she was better but when I put her back in her tank after 24 hours she bloated again been feeding a few granules in morning and a tiny pinch of daphnia 12 hours apart now I put her back in quarantine tank and fasting again 0 ammonia 0 nitite 10 nitate 78 degrees filter
I need answer PLEASE so I bought my betta fish like 7 months ago and they said th fish was a boy but it’s belly is geting a little big and and I searched up some pictures of pregnant beta fish, and my beta fish is belly looks a lot like that one but he or she is the only one in the tank 😭
I have the exact same betta as in the thumb nail and she is very fat just like this. She’s having trouble swimming and she’s been aggressive to the other females. The others are also looking a bit swollen now... this can’t be because of eggs right?
I have three female bettas.. Sadly one has died, but she has lay her eggs before. After I separate them from the male again, I see one of them getting chunky. Can it be eggs inside? Should I bring the female to the male fish? Or just let her stay in the tank.
Mine is a little thick on her sides with a tinny bit of a belly she has the egg spot on her cloacia should I continue to feed like normal or fast. She is a veil tail (according to her cup (in a 5 gallon now)) but I think she has more of the tail of a spade if any of this helps.
Thanks for the video, I have had many males and know about females being egg Bound. My new female recently had become thick, I can see her eggs. She makes me nervous even though I know what is happening, I'm so used to males and when they get thicker it's not good. This helped calm my anxiety.
Hi ;-) like I said before this is the only and best video out there! My betta came eggy from petco :( No pineconing I am 100% she's carrying eggs I even posted a picture on a bed of Paige and everyone agreed however I've been fasting her and she will not absorb them I tried the daphnia nothing I tried the brine shrimp nothing any suggestions I have her in a separate tank as she is usually in a 29 gallon with her Buddies. Please help me it's making me really really sad to keep her separate from the Coreys and everyone else she deserves so much better
Thank you so much my female is young I just got her a couple weeks ago and I noticed she was a bit swollen in that area but this morning she was even bigger and acting not herself..just sitting still in the plants ..I have a small sorority of 4 with a few small schooling community fish..she is a crown tail matter of fact I have two crowns and the other one is starting to look pregnant or constipated as well..I was getting very worried..
Hello, I really hope someone can help me. I have two lovely females who are extremely bloated with their ovipositor sticking out a TON. I lost a female to egg binding (I know it's rare but it still does happen) and I want to prevent it in these lovely ladies. They've been fasting and they're still HUGE.
MY female betta recently got big and stopneating.i did research and found that maybe she was constipated. The pet store bold me not to try to feed her and feed her a pea for fiber
Thank you so much for your video! I got my crown fish tail beta around 1 year ago and she was very weak but as she got older and stronger she started getting a big belly, and I thought it was because it was on the same tank as my male beta(they separated) and maybe she wanted to have babies or was egg bound. But after you mentioning that crown fish tail betas usually have that body type, calm me a little bit, because she is happy just a big belly haha
I have 4 female bettas and 1 male betta they get along keep distance from each other but I have a baby blue female that looks like she ready to breed ... now I do have the male in a bucket now and female in her original container hopefully they a match ... maybe a tip ... I got a 55 gallon tank so they have plenty of space to be free
I have a dumbo ear female betta, I’ve put here with a male in a 40gal tank, I see her belly full. I’m concerned that it’s an infection or something. I plan on switching to the 5gal tank so If she has eggs she’ll release them.....
Hi! Im hoping you or someone who sees this can help me out. About a week and a half ago I put all my female Bettas into a 10 gal tank and they've been doing really good. they have the occasional chase, but everyone seems to get along really well. But the past 2 days I've seen that most of them have their fins clamped and would rather sit in the plants than swim around like before. A few of them have also gotten big abdomens and can't swim as well. Ive had Bettas for years and I've never had this problem before. Ive tested the water also and the water parameters are all good. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!!
My lady betta just stays in an eternal state of thiccness. 😂
Ben Blassingourami same I have no idea why
It worries me
Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahah
Me to it just gets fatter and thicker every day hhahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAOAOAOAOOAAO
I recently got my first female betta when she was quite young. She is starting to get bigger and I saw her egg spot for the first time today and got confused. Glad to know she is healthy & normal :)

I really appreciate the diagram! Even if it’s simplified, I haven’t been able to find one for female betta anatomy- just ones for males.
I've been trying to find one as well and it does not seem to exist so I figured I could try to make my own 😊
Creative Pet Keeping I’m both glad and a bit disappointed I’m not the only one who hasn’t been able to find one. Thanks again! :)
Very cool! I've never owned female bettas before so learned a lot.
I should make a male betta anatomy video one of those days ^_^ I think it would be helpful
@@CreativePetKeeping yes
This helped me SO much!!! My gal got a lil thick in her egg area and I was so worried she was getting sick

A+ video! :) I get that question a lot too LOL, especially on Instagram
Thanks! Now you can send ppl to my video if they ask, if you wanna 😊. Hopefully it will help clear up confusion in the betta world.
tbh I was kind of expecting videos/pictures/drawings of a bloated female betta vs an egg-bound female betta. Informative video anyway.

My betta does poop and has a white patch under her stomach, it is inflated and she is for some reason on the bottom of the tank just very lazy. She did have contact with male. I don’t know if she’s pregnant or not...
You are so fine in explaining about Betta mam . Love from India 🇮🇳
Hey Kasia. Thanks for all your videos. I really like the content and find it very useful.
On the other hand I have a bit of a problem. My male betta seems to have a bloated stomach.
Can you maybe advise me on the treatment or something please.
Hi! I watched your video earlier because I noticed my female betta was bloated. Now I just saw her eating sand!! I also saw her poop it out and eat it again?! What's up with that?
Otherwise she seems happy and active.
Galaxy says thanks for the advise and my Mama is putting me on a fast followed with some blood worm treats afterwards🐟😉 🤓🤣
Answered all my questions perfectly ‼️💖
Your great at what you do 💯. Thanks Girl 👊😎
My female Betta has retained her eggs for 2 years now, and has become more eggy so she is blowed up with eggs. Is there a safe way I can get the eggs out of her without hurting her? I have no male for her to spawn with. Both my males died last year.
kasia, you have been such help with my fish journey . i have been wanting a betta for a few year but had been putting it off for too long (tbh i was scared i was gonna mess something up 😓) by the time i was ready, i had been watching the unicorn bucket babies, and saw they were ready to be sold, and i obviously got hyped. by the time i had gone on the site there was like one betta left, and by the time i went back to buy it, gone :(
about a week ago i took the plunge and i bought my first female betta from a LFS. after i brought her home i had notice she was a bit bloated and of course i got nervous, but after looking a bit closer i saw her egg spot was pretty prominent so after a few quick google searches i found out she is gravid :) and doesnt seem to sick.
i honestly would love to breed in the future, but she seems like such a mixture of things (i bought her as an assorted female, but she looks like a metallic black combtail, but she has yellow in-between her anal fin spines and has this light blue almost lavender in-between her caudal fin spines, and the rest is black with a little blue shimmer very interesting looking 😂) so im not to interested in breeding her, i plan on her being just my pet but it would be defiantly interesting to see what her offspring would be.
i just want to say thank you so much for the videos, you have inspired a ton of fish lovers and thats amazing. i strive to keep my fish as happy as yours, keep up the great work kasia!
My female is laying eggs. Making a bubble nest and holding them in get mouth.. never had a betta like this before... so I just don't feed her so she can absorb the eggs?
what if i don’t want the betta to have eggs? how do i get rid of them? just fast the betta if so how do i do that?
Thank you for the video!! My betta is sick and lays on the bottom could he be constipated? And is it ok to give a cooked peas . Thank you
Mary Mayfield boiled and shelled peas work, but daphnia is usually better because it is easier to digest for the insectivorous betta. ^-^
My Betta developed a big tumor on his right gill. He still eats but wants to sleep on his leaf bed all the time now. Do I have to put him to sleep? 😔
I've got 2 females Bettas that usually are swimming around happily but this past 5 or 6 days they've been laying behind plants or rocks hiding and only coming out to eat also one female looks to have a prolapsed but it's gone back in on its own, I have bred this female twice but the other one I have not. There in a community tank with sword tails angel fish and danios. Also any tips or tricks to get the males to stop eating the eggs during spawning I've got a galaxy koi plakat that's done it twice
You are so cute! Thank you so much for the info and help! My boyfriend and I just got a female crown tail and she is getting big! I am no longer worried thank you!
so I just got a betta today and i googled "how do you know when your betta fish is pregnant" and I am very confused if she is or not because I can see her egg spot out and her stomache looks big and she isn't constipated because I was watching her closly and watched her so it would be helpful if you could reply and help me out.
You just saved me tons of worry! I have a crown tail and she looks odd compared to my other female bettas.
I have a female crown tail and she stays bloated for a couple days then I'll fast her and she'll start getting better. But when she eats she gets bloated. I know its not dropsy I've medicated her in a tank by itself for 10 days and she was better but when I put her back in her tank after 24 hours she bloated again been feeding a few granules in morning and a tiny pinch of daphnia 12 hours apart now I put her back in quarantine tank and fasting again 0 ammonia 0 nitite 10 nitate 78 degrees filter
She is adorable 😢
oh man, I have a crown tail I'm so relieved right now. =) she looks super big!!
Very helpful video thank you!
I need answer PLEASE so I bought my betta fish like 7 months ago and they said th fish was a boy but it’s belly is geting a little big and and I searched up some pictures of pregnant beta fish, and my beta fish is belly looks a lot like that one but he or she is the only one in the tank 😭
Same lmaooo
I have the exact same betta as in the thumb nail and she is very fat just like this. She’s having trouble swimming and she’s been aggressive to the other females. The others are also looking a bit swollen now... this can’t be because of eggs right?
This really helps. I have a sorority tank with some crown tails and I was worried they were constipated but now I’m thinking it’s their body shape.
My black orchid crowntail had me so worried ! Thanks for this ! ❤️
this video helped me a lot ! Thanks !
What is the best food for Bettas, if you have time to answer? THANK YOU again!! USA
I have three female bettas.. Sadly one has died, but she has lay her eggs before.
After I separate them from the male again, I see one of them getting chunky. Can it be eggs inside? Should I bring the female to the male fish? Or just let her stay in the tank.
Mine is a little thick on her sides with a tinny bit of a belly she has the egg spot on her cloacia should I continue to feed like normal or fast.
She is a veil tail (according to her cup (in a 5 gallon now)) but I think she has more of the tail of a spade if any of this helps.
Very helpful, I was so worried, not anymore :)
almost 70K for your birthday! Happy early birthday!
Thank you!! I'm so close!! 😄😄😄
I’m sure you will get it!!
Thanks so Much! Great job! I think the breeder put a female in the wrong container. This one (is is a Joe or a Jolene lol) has had us quite confused.
Thanks for the video, I have had many males and know about females being egg Bound. My new female recently had become thick, I can see her eggs. She makes me nervous even though I know what is happening, I'm so used to males and when they get thicker it's not good. This helped calm my anxiety.
How about changing the water for pregnant bettas ?
Hi ;-) like I said before this is the only and best video out there! My betta came eggy from petco :(
No pineconing I am 100% she's carrying eggs I even posted a picture on a bed of Paige and everyone agreed however I've been fasting her and she will not absorb them I tried the daphnia nothing I tried the brine shrimp nothing any suggestions I have her in a separate tank as she is usually in a 29 gallon with her Buddies.
Please help me it's making me really really sad to keep her separate from the Coreys and everyone else she deserves so much better
Can you leave the male and female in the same tank if she's pregnant?
Hey thanks for the info! I thought my female betta was getting bloat... phew, I think she’s okay tho 😂
Mine is still a baby so probably she is just constipated 😆
Thank you so much my female is young I just got her a couple weeks ago and I noticed she was a bit swollen in that area but this morning she was even bigger and acting not herself..just sitting still in the plants ..I have a small sorority of 4 with a few small schooling community fish..she is a crown tail matter of fact I have two crowns and the other one is starting to look pregnant or constipated as well..I was getting very worried..
I have a crowntail female and she is always active and happy
Great info...I like your drawing Kasha 👍👈😉💋
Thank you ❤❤❤
Hello, I really hope someone can help me. I have two lovely females who are extremely bloated with their ovipositor sticking out a TON. I lost a female to egg binding (I know it's rare but it still does happen) and I want to prevent it in these lovely ladies. They've been fasting and they're still HUGE.
MY female betta recently got big and stopneating.i did research and found that maybe she was constipated. The pet store bold me not to try to feed her and feed her a pea for fiber
Thank you so much for your video! I got my crown fish tail beta around 1 year ago and she was very weak but as she got older and stronger she started getting a big belly, and I thought it was because it was on the same tank as my male beta(they separated) and maybe she wanted to have babies or was egg bound. But after you mentioning that crown fish tail betas usually have that body type, calm me a little bit, because she is happy just a big belly haha
Oh my god I think we have the exact same glasses! That’s so funny
How do I help my egg bound betta? She has a egg spot on her stomach and one is coming out but she can’t poop so she is getting fat
I have 4 female bettas and 1 male betta they get along keep distance from each other but I have a baby blue female that looks like she ready to breed ... now I do have the male in a bucket now and female in her original container hopefully they a match ... maybe a tip ... I got a 55 gallon tank so they have plenty of space to be free
I have a dumbo ear female betta, I’ve put here with a male in a 40gal tank, I see her belly full. I’m concerned that it’s an infection or something. I plan on switching to the 5gal tank so If she has eggs she’ll release them.....
Hi! Im hoping you or someone who sees this can help me out. About a week and a half ago I put all my female Bettas into a 10 gal tank and they've been doing really good. they have the occasional chase, but everyone seems to get along really well. But the past 2 days I've seen that most of them have their fins clamped and would rather sit in the plants than swim around like before. A few of them have also gotten big abdomens and can't swim as well. Ive had Bettas for years and I've never had this problem before. Ive tested the water also and the water parameters are all good. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!!
I would recommend maybe trying to deworm them as maybe there could be an internal parasite. How does their poop look?
@@CreativePetKeeping I'm honestly not sure. they're always moving or hiding so I never really see them poop.
Another great video!!!!
