Understood and I appreciate that, I only worry a beginner might not know the difference so just be wary but your outreach is appreciated.
I mentioned the bloat thing because it’s been brought up a lot, not just by you. I appreciated everyone’s concern about bloat but the fish was full of eggs and I was inquiring about what I thought were eggs, I’ve just never seen that before.
I come from a place where fish should rarely need medication, as long as diet and water is perfect! So I’m a bit sensitive as I take the replies about bloating and dropsy as a pass on my husbandry skills : /
But I realize this is the internet and how would you know I’ve had the same fish for 10 years! Not the betta of course, she’s a new rescue I took in and is clearly thriving. Sorry if it came off rude.
