I bought this pretty betta about a 2 months ago she was kinda heavier looking compared to when I bought my male about a couple week before( they are in separate tanks). Today I was trying to take a good look at her because she looks a little more heavy than when I got her but I can’t tell if she’s pine coning. These are my first bettas and I’m trying to do everything right

  1. Good news: I also don’t see her pineconing

    How much are you feeding her? What’s her tank like?

    It’s possible she’s just obese.

    I had a female betta that would occasionally eat duckweed thinking it was food, And that would make her constipated/swell a bit.

    Usually fasting her and feeding her in a ring helped her learn ‘food goes here’ helped cut down on this.

    I have heard (never tried it myself) frozen daphnia is good for constipation, if you think she’s that way
