Bloat in fish is usually caused by very poor water conditions (as are most fish diseases and problems). For the fish to get better, its conditions must be improved. I would advise you to make sure the fish is in acceptable conditions by observing the following. 1 inch of fish needs 1 gallon of water. A male Betta has about a 2 inch body length so he requires at least 2 gallons of properly filtered, heated (to 78F) water. A regular weekly water change of 50% is also recommended. Because fish tanks are never filled to the brim that means you would need to have a tank with a nominal capacity of at least 3 gallons. People who say that Bettas can be happy in a jam jar are talking rubbish and do not have the welfare/health of the fish at heart.

∙ 12y agoIf you're referring to your Betta "Fish" then stop feeding it so much. They are genetically engineered and can go months without eating.

How do you save my betta fish if it is floating on its side?
It's Very simple, the reason your betta is on it's side is because it has this sickness called swim blatter disorder it is a sickness where the fish's stomach is bloated so the air bubble in the stomach is to big and makes the fish float up to the top of the tank. The betta is not in pane I heard from this but it is defiantly annoyed. It happens usually in young bettas that eat to much brine shrimp so check if the food your giving it contains any. If your betta however is a two finned betta its probably because your feeding it too much

How do you save a sick betta fish?
It depends on what the betta is sick with. Search for the symptoms your fish is showing. Is there fungus growing on it? Is it bloated? Is it laying on its side? Also, be aware of the parameters in your tank. Check for ammonia (there shouldn't be ANY ammonia) and nitrites (there shouldn't be any nitrites, either!). While you try to figure out what is wrong, change some of the water in the tank - especially if you are keeping your betta in a bowl. Change 25-50% at a time, so that the water doesn't change too suddenly. Good luck!
