Hi!
About one or 2 weeks ago I noticed a ball growing in my Bettas stomach. I don`t have idea if this is a sickness, a parasite or its obese. I have fed him less and made him do more exercise but the ball is still there and hasn`t changed. Please help me!!! Thanks
 
Can you get a picture, and do the feces look normal?
 
When you say a ball in the stomach do you mean bloated belly and raised scale = dropsy

Look for two signs: an abnormally big (bloated) belly and if you look at betta from the top, raised scales

It's always best to first try fresh, clean water and a good varied diet
