What does it mean if a beta fish is swimming on its side and its belly is all puffed up and bloated?

Respuesta :

It sounds like it has swim bladder disease.

here are some symptoms...

The betta is unable to swim properly, characterized by floating at the top, sinking to the bottom and/or listing sideways. The betta often looks like it takes it a great deal of work to swim to the bottom (if floating) or reach the surface (if sinking), and will pop back up like a cork or sink like a stone.

A constipated fish may look bloated (slightly or greatly), or seem to have difficulty passing feces
