Best Answer

Bettas naturally have a roundish stomach. If the fish is bloated it may well be constipated but this should clear up naturally if you look after the fishes living conditions and do regular weekly 50% water changes. If the fishes scales are sticking out like a rasp, then the fish has "Dropsy" which is an uncurable, untreatable, terminal disease.
