sinking betta, help!!!

[crazybettaman]

hey guys, ive been conditioning 4 pair of betta for a week now and one of my fm hm s is sinking. shes full of eggs and can bearly make it to the top for air and when she doese she falls right back to the bottom. is it a swim bladder thing or im feeding her to much. every body else is doing fine. i feed them all they can eat in 10 min, 3 times a day. beef haert and blood worms. any suggestions thanks

BOTH
when she eats too much it blocks the passage to her swim bladder so it cannot adjust to help her rise or sink.

Feed her less and try a soft mushed green pea or green bean.

The best cure for swim bladder problems is adding epsom salt to the tank. It works wonders! Just use one teaspoon per 5 gallons.
