Okay my fiancee my daughter and I each have a male betta :wub:

(dont know why they each get to claim one as I am the one to look after them.) But moving on my fiancees betta (stunning red ct) is streamlined untill u reach his ventral fins then he is ROUND like the
O lol . So much so that the fins are being dislodged heres a pic sorry its so bad.

sorry it looks like 2 different fish but really its the same boy just different lighting and angle in each pic

Looks to me as though he's constipated...how much are you feeding him? And what are you feeding him? By fins being dislodged, I would assume you mean his scales? Does he look like a pinecone around the tummy area? If it's not a constipation probelm then he might have dropsy. (photo's of examples below)

This is dropsy...see how he looks like a pinecone? From the picture, this does not look like your CT.

This article gives some good tips about what to do for a constipated fishie... http
