Not really. It may be that he has a birth defect or something like that, but it's not necessarily a problem for him. He can live a healthy, normal life without both cheeks puffing. He's not sick or defective, he's just different.

no, everything is fine. i myself hav a betta fish who also does that occasionally. i found out that sometimes their gills get tired and only have energy for one cheek to puff out. don't worry a thing, your betta should be fine!
p.s. don't put the mirror up to his tank often b/c sometimes they get so angry so often and they die of anxiety. that happened to a friend of mine.
