I got her two months ago for free from PetSmart as they were going to euthanize her. I revitalized her and she’s calm and lives in a ten gallon with habrosus corydoras and Neocaridina shrimp. I noticed last night she was at the top but didn’t think much of it as the lights had been out for hours and she normally sleeps there at night. Her diet is frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. Live moina and fluval bug bites. She also likes stealing the corydora and shrimp food. Everyone else in the tank seems perfectly healthy. Let me know what I should do, I am not new to the hobby but I am new to Bettas.

I hate to be the one that says this but your girl has bad dropsy… Treat her with methylene blue and kanaplex and a tad bit of Epsom salt to reduce bloating. I have saved bettas from dropsy before, it’s rare, but can be done. Keep us updated
