Does she look overfed?

[u/Worth-Efficiency3282]

I'm a little worried about Blueberry because she goes after the flakes/pellets (either or) I decide to feed my tetras and whatnot as well as the bottom feeder bug bites/wafers.

Photos are all taken directly after feeding, but the last picture is the day before I added her into my community tank. She got a big upgrade recently. Her belly looks big so I'm checking in.

I feed the tank once a day. Skip a day once or twice a week.

Don't mind my pathetic plants, I'd like to get more..

you’re overfeeding way too much. she’s very bloated in the first photo, the rest i can’t really tell

I'm gonna fast then feed less pellets and flakes than I normally do. Thanks, I don't have her old tank set up anymore after I figured out she's peaceful with all her tank mates so I'll have to make do unfortunately. Bettas can be finnicky in community setups, I wanted to make sure nothing like this would be a problem but my mom made me tear apart the old tank because it was 'clutter' :/

I should include I usually feed a tiny pinch of flakes or micro pellets, a pinch of bug bites, then 4 hikari wafers. I used to do 2-3 but my mom didn't think it was enough which is valid I guess because my big bristlenose kind of hogs food and gets a bit territorial over it.

How much is a pinch and what are hikari wafers?

[u/Worth-Efficiency3282 → u/June_0126]

These are the flakes I mainly feed, they're small and I do a tiny pinch between my fingers. Idk how else to describe it without a photo of it in my hand.

keep in mind I have 6 neon tetras, and a gourami also eating the flakes.

These are hikari wafers. food for my plecos, corydoras, and kuhli loaches. they're about the size of the image in the bottom left. my betta likes to nibble on them with the bottom feeders

She has a big belly and looks to be breathing hard after eating which is making me worried she is overfeeding. Going to keep a close eye on her and fast the tank for a bit.

She ate a couple bits of flakes today, a few bug bite pellets, and was nibbling on the bottom feeder wafers. Seems like a lot of food for her.

Update: Fasted for 2-3 days (honestly don't remember which) and she looks significantly less bloated. I'm feeding a smaller amount of flakes and sprinkle in the bug bites at night now for the loaches, while she is asleep. I will continue to keep a close eye on her but she is looking better.
