How to Avoid Sick Betta Fish

You could easily stay away having afflicted beta fish and sick beta fish. Simply remember the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
For instance, did you cognize most of the common betta fish sicknesses can be traced back to poor water quality or water quality issues?. Well it’s true.

Take fin rot. Those infected certainly don’t look gorgeous. No where near. Bacteria ever present in the water are the culprit. Which can be pretty much kept at bay with regular water changes. Do the modifies and usually no sick beta fish. At least not with fin rot.

While Ich victims are sometimes due to fluctuating water temps. Temps that go up and down up and down stress your bettas. Distressed bettas are more prone to getting parasites like ich. Especially if you keep the water on the cool side.

Got a fish with a swim bladder disorder. Bet you overfed the little blighter. And if constipation is the issue you’re over doing prepared foods like pellets or flakes.
