Earlier in the week I asked advice on my very fat betta fish which I thought was constipated.
I now think she may be egg bound!
I have fasted her for 3 days, I have tried the pea trick, I have put her in an epsom salt bath but still nothing except for a few little white dobs in the bottom of her isolation tank. She is still as round as ever after fasting. If she is egg bound what can I do? I don't want to lose her but I also don't want her to suffer, please can someone help.
 
Are you sure she's constipated? I thought my betta's were constipated at points but when I started cleaning my gravel I realized otherwise.

You could try feeding your betta an algae wafer (although that also does contain fish meal) if it won't take to peas. My betta's go crazy over them.You can also fast longer if you want. Betta's can survive a month without food in extreme situations. Otherwise, just continue feeding your betta's a regular diet with 1-2 pellets once or twice a day. Some bettas are just fat in my opinion too
