Inflated Betta

ok so ive had a constipated betta before, but this is kind of the opposite, shes become inflated with air and now floats at the surface inable to stay any lower. i know for constipation you feed them a pea, i was just wondering if this work for my problem too??

Have you got a pic of her? It could be swim bladder, or bloat, or even dropsy, but hard to say without seeing her

she was moving fast so it was hard to get a decent shot

Hard to tell from that pic, you could try feeding deshelled peas to see if that helps.
Also I've just noticed you have a male in with the females.
That is never a good idea & will lead to trouble

How much of the pea should i have fed her, i gave her about twice the amount of the size of her eye, so around a fifth of the pea???

theyre fine, theyre all very placid fish, and im moving the male and the gourami into a new tank in a couple of weeks once the shop has my fish and plants ordered, but i have to take the females back because there arent enough of them so they will fight with the rams im gonna get (and i know rams and betta arent a good idea but im going to choose placid rams and just try them out to see if they work like the gourami and the male do)
