Thanks.
He had SBD when I got him. I forgot to mention that.  I have tried everything and feed him one pellet in the morning and one pellet at night and he still gets bloated. The good news is that it does not bother him. He swims normal just gets bloated at times.

try fasting him on weekends or something. If you can't make him eat peas then fasting is the next best thing.

Yeah I have been fasting only on Mondays but I might have to fast him more than just one day. ^^ and I heard that Peas are bad for bettas so I don't want to try that method. But I do exercise him with a mirror for 10 minutes a day and he poops right after and that helps a lot. I also give him Daphnia which also helps with his bloating only on the days that are bad though.

I have never heard of natural peas being bad for any fish so I do hope you reconsider.

And as for exercising him with a mirror, that seems to cause more stress than it's worth.

If he has an adequate size tank and power filter than he'd get exercise on his own.

I heard that peas are not a good idea to use with bettas. They're a carnivorous species and don't do well digesting plant matter. So I went for the safer rout with Frozen Daphnia or Epson Salt to help him poop.  Now, this is what I heard from many people on a betta website and I don't have the science to back this up so I cannot be certain this is true or not, but I don't wanna harm him more.

thanks for the advice though. I will try to fast him tomorrow. Though his bloating did go down a lot after his fasting today. ^^

I'm only saying this because i breed betta and i do know a thing or two. And you really shouldn't use Epson salt EVER

unless they have a serious disease like dropsy that requires it.
