Male Betta with large belly

Question
Hi. I have a male Betta who has been fine, but recently his belly has gotten very swollen. He is still able to swim normally and doesn't have any of the symptoms of dropsy (my last Betta died of it). He isn't scratching himself on anything in the tank either. He seems to be totally normal, but his stomach is huge. Is there anything I can do or is this even a problem? Thank you.

Answer
Mark,

This could be constipation OR early signs of Dropsy. Constipation can be fixed by feeding the fish nothing but peeled cooked peas for 3-5 days straight (LOTS of fiber =D). If this doesn't work, send another message and we'll figure it out.
