Betta Fish: betta constipation success

my betta ghost was super constipated – I tried fasting for 2 days and didn’t see much improvement. I was trying to find daphnia but couldn’t so I resorted to some brine shrimp (apparently the exoskeleton helps w constipation too but just not as effective as daphnia). I fed him some yesterday afternoon and waited. I noticed he was lingering at the bottom of the tank and was worried it was the start of swim bladder disease so I decided to separate him in a container for the rest of the day/night to ensure he has easy access to the surface + I’ll be able to see if he had a bowel movement. anyway – I woke up this morning and HOLY SMOKES (first two photos are him before, third photo is self explanatory, and last photo is him now!!!). Just thought i’d share since I don’t typically see brine shrimp mentioned as a constipation remedy and I know daphnia can be harder to come by!! I’m so relieved for him lol my guy was BACKED up
