Why has my male Betta got a bloated stomach?

[Cardinal Tetra246]

Hi I wanted to know why has my betta got a pale white bloated stomach. I recently stated feeding my betta with Fluval bug bites tropical flakes I’m not sure if this has something to do with it? What should I do with my male Betta fish? My fish tank is 90l test results taken from API freshwater master test kit
PH: 6.8-7.0 it was 6.5 a while ago.
Ammonia: 0ppm possibly 0.05 but couldn’t tell
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm

Not sure, but I wonder if it could be dropsy? He doesn't look good to me. Could he be over-eating? What else is in the tank?

His scales are raised which is why it looks as if he has a white stomach. This is a symptom of dropsy, signifying his internal organs shutting down. From the picture you've included, he looks to be a seriously bad way. Sorry to say that the kindest thing you could do now is to euthanize him.

Thank you for helping anyway (make the decision) I’m sad I had him for about 2 years. I will get another one though.

2 years is good for bettas these days. Most people struggle to get them passed the year mark, I've had the same trouble with ones I've purchased from pet shops

Thanks that’s good to know. I felt pretty terrible like I hadn’t done a very good job. Thanks though.
