Question About Constipated Betta

[zelandonia]

My betta became constipated earlier this week and I treated him by withholding his regular diet and feeding part of a cooked pea. It took two days but now he has pooped and his belly has returned to normal size. He looks hungry and is dancing for food. How long after the constipation clears would you resume feeding? My plan was to wait one more day and try just one pellet tomorrow and gradually increase to his regular amount (4 pellets a day) over a few days. How does this sound?

Thanks for your input.

I would feed him now, frozen foods and veg in his diet.

Thanks for your input, Wilder. I have frozen bloodworms and can get a more varied frozen diet this weekend.
