Sick Betta

that's good to hear. The bits of pea should be about the size of his eye. Live or frozen daphnia will also be good for him.

I had to qt a bloated female betta for like 2 or 3 weeks after she got into the flakes. No more community tank for her. We gave her a lot of plants in her qt so she could hang at the surface for air without exerting much energy and didn't feed her for a week, before feeding her 2-3x week at most until she deflated. Good luck. If it is constipation, he may be prone to it for the rest of his life. Mine certainly is.
 
edit: didnt see your last post

sorry for your loss
 
My bettas let air out every not and then, none have ever gotten that big though., put him in a smaller tank maybe a 2.5 g with a small filter and medicate him. or you can find a fish exlax
