Female Bettas With Eggs

[diburning]

Today, I adoped 6 female bettas. they are fat with eggs. The LFS guythat gave em to me said that if they don't get rid of their eggs, they might die. These bettas came fomr someone who either initiated spawning and stopped it or accidently put in a male and took them out when they started spawning.

have 6 really fat female bettas, some worse than others, so how do I get the m to expel the eggs?? I have this awesome lemon yellow one that is the worst. I don't want her to die. What do I do?

The eggs will be released when they need to be. It's nothing to worry about.

the yellow one looks overbloated, but its not dropsy. I don't think that she can release them...

some females get really eggy, but there's so reason she shouldn't be able to expel them on her own, even if she IS very bloated. If you look on aquabid you'll see a lot of super eggy females. they look like they're about to explode.

"She could also be egg bound. This can happen if an egg gets stuck inside her causing an infection. If she really is egg bound you will need to treat her with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Since I don't have any experience with egg bound bettas myself, I'll ask one of the other experts for recommendation." link

but that is less likely. It's more probably that she just has a LOT of eggs and will expel them on her own in time

Awww bless her. Teelie used to carry that much, as did my other CT girl. It does happen and they will expel them themselves. Teelie actually tried to initiate spawnign with the other girls in her tank when she first became that gravid.

I found that my CT females really got very eggy but generally they managed to expel them or absorb them

Hope she looks more comfortable soon
