  • Betta Fish Poop : Constipation Signs And Treatment. This video covers the signs, causes of betta fish constipation issues and detailed steps to treat them. Also prevention steps and various constipation related questions were answered. Constipation in bettas can be caused by a variety of factors, such as overfeeding or feeding them with inappropriate food. Bettas are carnivores and prefer live or frozen food like daphnia, shrimp, and ghost snails. Dried food can cause constipations, so it's important to choose the right type of food for your fish.

Betta fish poop and constipation are common concerns among aquarium owners. Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are popular pets due to their bright colors and unique personalities. However, just like any other animal, bettas can become constipated and suffer from abnormal bowel movements.
    Symptoms of constipation in bettas include bloating, stringy or white poop, and a lack of appetite. If left untreated, constipation can lead to dropsy, a serious condition that causes the fish's body to bloat and its scales to stand out. Dropsy is a sign that your betta is very sick and may not survive.
    To treat constipation in bettas, you can try feeding them with a pea or an Epsom salt bath. Peas are high in fiber and can help clear up their digestive tract, while Epsom salt can relieve constipations by drawing out excess water from the fish's body. However, you should not give your betta a pea or an Epsom salt bath too often, as it can cause other health problems.
    Regular tank maintenance, such as cleaning the tank and removing uneaten food, can also help prevent constipations in bettas. You should also be mindful of the location of the tank and the water temperature, as these factors can affect the fish's health.
    In summary, if you notice that your betta fish is constipated or has abnormal bowel movements, it's important to take action to relieve the symptoms. Proper feeding, regular tank maintenance, and appropriate treatment can help keep your betta fish healthy and happy for a long time.

    The main reason you want to avoid overfeeding is to keep your betta from developing swim bladder issues. I feed mine once a day in the mornings. 😊

    DO NOT FEED YOUR BETTA PEAS. They are strictly insectivores/carnivores. Try frozen daphnia instead. Peas are only used for gold fish

      I completely agree!! It took me a month for my 2 year old betta to finally poop. I did epsome dips to no avail. I bought kanaplex and methalyene blue and did them together. I kept changing the water and i was getting frustrated. I'm sticking to flakes instead of pellets

    How do you get the betta to eat the pea if she won’t even eat? She’s not eating because she’s not feeling well, so I don’t know how to help her. I’ve tried putting epsom salt in her tank and it doesn’t seem to be helping. It’s been almost a week.

    • @aquadiaryofficial
      @aquadiaryofficial  7 місяців тому +1

      Is she taking any food? If not, don’t try peas now. Keep her fasting for 3-4 days. Keep change water daily. Give salt bath daily for 30mins. Keep the water temperature to 82F. Continue this for next 4 days

    I feed my male betta about 4-6 pellets in the morning and at night. He eats them all pretty fast but could that be the cause of his bloated belly. And I tried fasting him, didn't work so now I'm trying Epson salt baths. So, no change yet, but swelling not getting bigger which is good.

    My betta started getting bloated due to stealing food from other tank mates. I fasted him for 3 days a fed him daphnia. I didn’t see any change so I fasted him for another day and fed him more daphnia. I’ve also tried peas with no progress. I’ve been considering epsom salt baths

    • @linuxmonkey

      new school of thought does not suggest peas. Betta is carnivorus hence the general consensus is that it doesnt possess same digestive system to digest peas.

    Here to fix something false said in the video:
    There is no such thing as a fish that eats betta poop/feces. However there are fish that will eat algae and leftover food. Saying that shrimp, plecos, and corydoras eat poop is a false statement

    • @aquadiaryofficial
      @aquadiaryofficial  Рік тому

      that’s right. Thanks for correcting it. There is no fish that will eat poop. Occasionally fish are seen chewing on fish poop, but that is because they mistake it for food. Helpful comment. 👍

    How many pelets should I feed my betta per day without getting her bloated?

    • @aquadiaryofficial
      @aquadiaryofficial  10 місяців тому +2

      It’s based on your betta fish size. I would suggest to start with 4 pellets.. 2 times a day. Also make sure, betta consume them within 2-3mins. If betta is not consuming the food within 2-3mins, you need to reduce. Do soak in water for few mins before feeding.

      Yes, but I don’t encourage it. Actually this hybrid type called as Bettami. Breeding success rate is less as it’s require some expert attention. Also, Hybrids are usually sterile and cannot reproduce.

      Interesting question. I couldnt exactly tell the count as there are different sizes of micro pellets. But I had micro pellets which 4 size smaller than usual pellets. So, I use to feed 12 of them per time(3x4 normal pellets) as long as my betta able to consume all in 2mins.
