Ive been treating my betta very well, although he has a bulging lump under his head. I feed him once a day, i sometimes skip A DAY to keep a clean stomach. So is there any cure for betta constipation? Please?

Fast him for 4-6 days, and you will see that the bulge will go back to nothing
Once you start feeding him again, be careful not to feed him to much
Also exchange his diet a bit with bloodworms, pellets and flakes
Still always fast him one day outa the week
Hope that helps
Good luck

A Lump under his head? I remember my betta ate his bubble nest and got a huge belly and kept floating to the top of the tank. Wedging himself between a toy I put in later solved the problem. I remeber the next day he looked bigger. the store said it did it to expand its body so it could grow more....O.o was I lied to!?

Definitely try a product called "Beta Fix" Read the directions on the bottle i tried that and it worked wonders. It is available at any pet store. If you've changed his food recently that is probably why. All you have to do is put it in the drops in the water. Yes, you can save him. Also put some salt in his water. Just a pinch. It will help him go to the bathroom faster.
