Beer Belly Betta

I added a little algae eating fish to the aquarium containing the Betta. Since that tank just got cleaned last week, there really isn't any algae for the little guy to munch on, so I threw in one of those compressed algae wafers. The Betta to it upon himself to eat the entire thing himself! Now he very prominent bulge on his belly. At first I freaked, thinking it was some kind of disease, but then I noticed the wafer was gone and did the math. What a pig!
