I checked the water it’s good, I fasted her for like a week. Giving bare minimum food the last couple days and it looks like she keeps getting bigger. She swims around she eats she’s still interested in things. But she’s blowing up like a balloon!! 🙁 is she sick?

Sometimes she swims on an angle, the water was pre conditioned. The tank she came from was much worse. I just got new plants haven’t put them in yet. Is she going to die?
Looks like sbd to me honestly, look into this!

Temp is 78
I also gave her half a pee and she ate it
Looks very bloated! And peas are bad for bettas they are carnivorous, it’ll make them constipated. Fast her for a few days and see if anything changes. Also is your tank cycled? If not check that out. Could also potentially be dropsy if she is pineconing.
Either bloat or egg bound or a combo of both. If it’s a swim bladder issue you can do a salt bath (do your research on how to make a salt bath for bettas!!) and see if that helps, or fast again and do brine shrimp (frozen works fine, just a little bit) to see if it helps her poop. Otherwise all you can do is try to make her comfortable until she gets better or passes away (I’m hoping for the first for you!!)
feed daphnia! made my fish poop but soak it in a cup of water for 5-10 minutes before.
What do you mean exactly when you say “I checked the water and it’s good”? if you can give the exact parameters it would help us suggest what you should do.
