my female betta has started to sit at the bottom of the tank and not get up to greet me as i walk in like usual when i put some food in her tank she did not eat and she keeps opening and closing her mouth as to breath it looks like any ideas i also gave her her own 10 gallon tank for the night any help would be appreciated and welcomed

How long have you had her? And does she look swollen? I've had several do that for a few days and worry me but they would pull through. I would up water changes and just keep watch on her.

Also make sure sense he/she is now in the ten gallon there is not too much current....could stress her more. Besides the above questions how is the water quality?

ok this morning she was much more active and looked better i think the water is bad in the 37so i will change that water she is a little swollen in her abdomen but that is because of her egg spots and hopefully she will be bred soon

Glad to hear it. You might consider giving her some shelled green peas just in case she might be a little bloated. It doesn't hurt the fish. I do it to mine once a week because they are such little pigs. Just nuke the peas first, shell it and though it in.

just like canned peas?

I use frozen peas but I don't see the harm in canned peas, just would hate for you to open a whole can just to get a few. I guess you could freeze the remainder and use as needed.
(In case you didn't know the peas help with constipation.)

If you use canned peas be sure to get unsalted.

ok i will look to see if i have any and then i microwave them?

Heat some water in the microwave and drop the peas in for five or ten minutes.

ok thanks and this should help for the bloating right? should the males get this too?

They can all eat it. It won't hurt them. It will just make them poo. If the males are acting fine I wouldn't worry about giving them the peas.

ok thanks will make some tomorrow night as they have already been fed for the 3rd time tonight thanks a lot and kygirl do you breed bettas?

No I just have a betta sorority. I just enjoy them. But, I only feed mine once a day. Maybe that's why I think they are such piggys.lol

oh ok have u ever tried i have one baby left from a red hm female and a yellow hmpk hope he makes it to maturity he will be my first in 3 spawns
