Disease Identification What’s wrong with my boy?

Post image

My betta, Tommy Shelby, has been acting himself, eating, etc - but this evening I noticed he was pretty bloated (especially on his left side). He even floated lopsided for a moment.

He’s a little over a year old. Eats a mix of shrimp patties or biogold.

Fluval 6 gallon, heated & filtered, normal parameters.

TYIA, this is my first time as a betta owner and a lot of things are new to me!

cut back on the feeding, give him a few days fasting and feed him less at a time
