hi there

thought my betta must have a hernia or tumour or something - one day just under the chin something was sticking out, got bigger and bigger, until today seems to be exruding something - like poo - only very big and only very slowly coming out. almost looks like zit with head on it if you know what i mean, except i think the light coloured ?poo stuff is actually starting to come thru. anyway, this betta is a guts, and i know i probably overfeed.

if it is constipation, how can i avoid it? my betta doesn't eat vegies (i've tried courgette in tiny pieces), any only likes bloodworm, frozen discus tucker, and occasionally a little betta flake. any suggestions?

Try some boiled peas, skinned, and squashed.

the swelling went down, but still there. the anus used to be further behind, now it's moved 9if that is what it is) in front. do you think it is constipation?
