My beta- Walley, has not had a bowel movement in over 2
weeks. He's very lethargic and doesn't swim around too
much. He doesn't have a problem going to the bottom of his
bowl, but he's usually at the top.So, I don't think he has
that swim bladder disease.He hasn't eaten in about 3 days
either. I've heard of using peas, is this a good option???

Peas (baby food from a toothpick) are a great solution to constipation if he eats
them! He may have dropsy (swim bladder disease) which you'd treat with an
antibiotic, but you'll know he's sick-- does he eat? If not, and if he's just laying
around more than usual, he's probably sick with dropsy.
Try the peas...See More
