As I posted before, I believe my betta has a tumor. It hasn't grown any larger but i have noticed that when stay still he will fall onto the side that the growth is on. When he is resting he will lay sideways on a plant or his cave, basicly anything he can find. I am just wondering if there is anything I can do to make him more comfortable or if there is medicine to give him. I have had him for a little over a year and would hate to lose him in such a way.
Thank you in advance!
Also is there a chance he could just have a blockage in his stomach? When I feed him peas he chewed them then spit them out. I have no idea what to do!

I'm really sorry to say that tumors are basically untreatable in fish. I doubt he is in pain or he wouldn't eat at all. If he gets to the point that he won't eat it will be time to humanely euthanize him. Place him in a small container of tank water and into the freezer where he will go without any pain or suffering.
So sorry
MM

there is medicine that you can get at the store that you but in the water that might help and you feed you fish peas.
