ok my betta has been getting fat. i asked before, and after reading and searching i thought he just had bloat. I fed him the peas afther I had him semi isolated in a breeder pen that stays in the main thank. while doing so. even with out him eating he appears to have slightly gotten fatter.
then i noticed that the poo that is sticking out of his butt is clear and real stringy. and didn't break off like normal poo does.
even though he has been getting fatter and fatter hes scales were always stuck to his sides like normal. but now when i took him out and put him in his own carring tank i've notice that ONLY ONE SIDE and a very small part has scales that you could say are sticking out like a pine cone. but its not that bad. i'd contribute it more to the shape of the fish now.
he also has gotten so front heavy that he is chest down on the ground while his tail floats upward. kinda like a 70* angle. and while i hold him to the light you can see the swolen part is just clear. the light just shines right through him.
also he started off a couple weeks ago. noticed it when he was peewee size belly. then it slowly got to a normal size marble. now its slightly bigger and getting oblong. by 4 days ago he looked like he had an ass on his chest.
i'm trying to post pictures but my card reader is not working right.
please help me identify this. and what meds to use.
after reading the usuall out come of these symptoms i'd write this fish off. but as long as he is still spunky i'll give it a shot.
what do you guys think, dropsy, bloat, failed kidneys, viral,?
what meds ? brands?
