AJ — I would make two suggestions at this point. Stop feeding for 48 hours and then to a 30 -40 percent water change. In the meantime I would go to Wallgreens or a similar drug store and try to purchase some plastic pipettes (photo attached). When I hatch BBS I find I have way to much shrimp to feed to the Paros. The tendency is to overfeed. With the pipettes you can feed very small amounts and direct where to place the BBS in the tank. For example, when I feed blood worms I actually count the worms released into the tank. If I return 30 minutes later and I find worms on the floor of the tank then I feed too much and I adjust the next feeding. It’s a little more difficult to measure the amount of BBS. In the beginning it was tempting when you were finished feeding to dump the remaining BBS into the tank. I do not do that anymore. Now whatever remains I feed to the wild bettas in other tanks. Hope this helps …
