The first thing that should be done is a water change. Make sure that the temperature of the water remains the same. If the betta is in a tank you can use a small heater to gradually increase the temperature a couple of degrees(78F max). This will sometimes help to alleviate impaction. Another good method once the water is nice and clean is to fast your betta for two or three days. The fish will not die from starvation. Often overfeeding and poor water quality are causes for constipation. When you do resume feeding make sure to feed a high quality betta pellet once a day. Feed just a pinch. You should soak the pellets for a few minutes before feeding. Dry pellets can also cause digestive issues.
