This is Blue Jay and a picture of his current tank. The one of him is our hospital tank. We’ve had him for three weeks now. He has been a lot of fun! His fins have grown so much and his color is really coming through. We came home yesterday to find him super bloated. But I just can’t tell if he’s pineconing or not 😭 he’s not lethargic, and still flaring with a mirror. He has a snail, Cory catfish, and shrimp as tank mates and they are all fine.
It just seems to be his belly area. Maybe constipation? We are going to fast for 24-48 hours and see if that helps. Currently in a salt bath right now!
What do you think??

Could you post a Birds Eye view of him?
Here is someone who had success curing dropsy. I was actually able to save my betta by following them. I add a bit of epsom salt and some methylene blue.[https://www.reddit.com/r/bettafish/s/Eo3zhGLyBo](https://www.reddit.com/r/bettafish/s/Eo3zhGLyBo)
Try this if the bloating doesn’t go down and you notice his scale coming up. He does seem bloated though. What is his diet
