Bloated or Dropsy

[Stingro]

Has anyone ever had luck with Betta's surviving bloating or dropsy? What medicine works or methods?

Have you ever researched Epsom salt dips? I’ve also heard but never tried shelled peas, but that’s for fish typically with larger mouths

Epsom salt bath works well for sure. I used to feed peas to my betta, it must be boiled and shell shel be removed, crush to make smaller pieces.

I was able to heal the betta with daily epsom salt and antibiotic for a few days.
