Not all the time. It can also mean he/ she is sick, their gills will turn black which is normally done when flaring. It’s due to a bacterial infection or lack of oxygen and struggle.
@@aquashowroom4406 as for their tails that’s only done to whipping them and then slowly gliding in the water when they see the same sex in a neighboring tank if they’re not put in danger by adding that same sex fish to their tank. Normally is the case for males. Females can live in schools. Or quads. Hope you’re not an actual breeder. You’re not too informed about their behaviors and their reactivity. Much less how their reactivity is actually performed
Same happened to my betta .. I did the medication.. now it's at the stage of recovery .. fins should open up a little more.. it's lively now.. but was worried cause of it's fins and was not sure if the treatment worked .. this video helped me confirm that he's recovering well. Thank you very much !
Hi, I understand what you mean. It also crossed my mind when i made the video. in the end I just want to tell the story on a positive light coz the fish survived. So the reason why I chose the upbeat music. Don't want to be gloomy on my videos.
Should have more subs for such a good quality vid. I'm planning on getting a Betta and I'm a beginner doing some detailed research. Any tips you would like to give for a Betta lover honorable beta sensei😁😀😁
Mona Harris thank you very much. If it’s your first time to get a betta, here are some tips: - look around for beautiful bettas. I prefer male halfmoon bettas because of their colors and wide fins. When you look at the bettas, check their fins if there are some ragged fins, you should aim for flawless fins. You can find some beautiful bettas in pet shops and even ebay but i personally prefer to order them from Thailand as they have good selections of beautiful bettas. You can check some here: www.shoppingisexciting.com/betta-shop - choose at least a 5 gallon tank for a happy and healthy betta and also to avoid very frequent water changes. - maintain water quality. You need to maintain water quality for a healthy betta, preferrably doing 50% water change weekly for a 5 gallon tank. Use water conditioner to tap water before using it in your tank (i use this: amzn.to/2LJ8goN). Add beneficial bacteria every water changes. I use this biological enhancer: amzn.to/2O1CUGK. Maintain critical water parameters like temperature (between 75degF - 82degF), ammonia and nitrites level, etc. I use this for easy water test: amzn.to/2OpgiRy - cycle your tank before putting your betta. Maybe allow at least four weeks before introducing your betta to the tank. - If you choose plastic ornaments to your tank, you need to ensure that they won’t rip the fins of your betta. I prefer to use live plants. - Observe your betta well so you’ll be able to immediately see any changes in behaviour or signs of poor health. Have some medications for common betta prpblems (fin rot, fungus infection, etc.) handy so they’re available when you need them. - I use this for varied food of my bettas: amzn.to/2LTXaN3 - I use this for cleaning the gravels in my tank: amzn.to/2LYgPLG Hope the above helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
Thank you for this video! My male betta fish had pop eye on his left eye, whiteness in his left eye and some disease that made him not act like he used to and I was able to catch the disease from the start and able to cure him of it within days. Now he is happy and the fins that were snipped, because of the infection, are growing. Please keep these videos going because I am an amateur betta fish hobbyist. ☺
Nestle Salcedo Happy to know that you were able to catch it early and was able to cure his disease. That’s also what happened to my betta that I was able to know the disease early and was able to cure it. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best for your betta.
I have a blue betta named aqua. He was so gorgeous and active. But then he showed some signs of lethargy, fin rot and probably a few more diseases. I put him in a quarantine tank with some aquarium salt and almond leaves. One day after, he is getting better. Thank god!
great video, I'll have to re watch with a pen and paper and write a list, have one healthy (want to keep it that way) and a new rescue , doesn't look to serious, but you never know
Thanks a lot for watching. It’s good to have medications available on hand ready when you need it. Hope your betta will continue to be healthy and won’t need such. Goodluck.
Really thanks for the video, I got my first bettas, and on the second day, all of them suddenly looks too calm and when I saw your video, they are showing similar symptoms, so I can take immediate action for recovery before everything become too bad, now after 24 hrs doing the treatment they're active again, still need to learn a lot about these babies, and your video certainly help this newbie :)
Hi, im happy to know that my video has helped your bettas. Extra vigilance and care to our bettas really produce results. Ive also made this Comprehensive Guide to Betta Care which can really help in giving the best care to our bettas: ua-cam.com/video/4qvs3Hd7yNc/v-deo.html Goodluck to your bettas and I wish you well.
When my betta got sick w/bloat I gave him a non iodized table salt bath to cure it Course I did research before I put salt in his tank He's feeling. a lot better now 🐟🙂
I'm happy to know that your betta is feeling better now. We're lucky that we were able to provide the treatment to help heal our sick betta. Goodluck to your betta. Hope he'll recover fully.
I am so thankful that you do this vlog or video because i just got a betta its 1 week from now and i dont know if my betta is sick or not. Because i just save them from the pet shop in some malls because when i saw them in the plastic cups i got so sad for the fish. And now i am thankful and i can determine right a way if my betta is sick or not. Thank you again.
Hi, great video. I'm guessing you're in the UK? I had my betta go from healthy to deaths door in 2 days. I researched and discovered he had velvet. I also bought Waterlife, it cured him in around 3 days. It's absolutely fantastic medicine and not stressful on the fish. I wouldn't ever use anything but Waterlife in the future.
Sorry to hear about your last betta. i hope too that this video will be helpful in proactively addressing a problem with our bettas. early monitoring and detection will really help in solving the problem. Goodluck to you.
@@aquashowroom4406 yeahh it's ok, and since I currently have one more Im going to be more observant to it so I can prevent the same thing from happening
I have a sick betta who is bent all of a sudden and swims in circles . I did a salt bath, antibiotics, now the leaves, tried feeding a pea, he won't eat. I don't know what else to do, now he just sleeps in his log and watches us😥
Thanks for the advise. I always observe my betta and found that it is ok with the filter. I also put the cover on top of the filter so to minimize the flow.
Really! That is a thing? I have a similar tank and I just moved him from a regular old bowl to the filter, I thought is would be better, but he just hangs out near the wall now and sleeps vertical. It’s wild, actually.
My betta has been acting really wired and today he was really pale and at the bottom of the tank doing nothing I’m scared so I’m going to try to save him
Animal Lover88 he has been better lately, but I turned the filter down about 75% and the tank is warmer. I think he was doing it for heat. I notice he’s more playful when it’s warmer. A thermometer and a heat source will help, they like it warm :)
My betta used to be very active till wed night i accidentally over fed him. Now he just stay at one corner.. not eating at all.. keep going to the surface to get air.. his beautiful red colour fading.. i just do not know what to do..
I'm only a beginner but I was wondering does your Betta Have a heater? I found that my fish were dying because I was given wrong information about water changing I do about a 30% water change for a 3 and 1/2 gallon tank and I clean out the tank once a month this is really done wonders in preventing fin rot. my suggestion would be don't worry if your fish doesn't eat he can go a few days without eating let's make clear out his system also try using almond leaves I heard the great for helping fish to recover and you need to see what illness he may have it could be bacterial or could be fungus
@@meggrotte4760 Hey, I'm a fellow betta owner here and I'm just recommending you do more water changes than one once a month. You do have a larger size then most people recommend at least so thats really good! But, you do only have a 3 1/2, so for that you must at least be doing a water change a week (if not more). You could do a heavy one and then a 25% if you want weekly. I mean no hate, just some recommendations because overtime the amount of nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia will do more harm than good by only doing a water change once a month.
@@mahrukh1299 don't worry about it I'm not easily offended. Actually I think I wrote incorrectly but I do 25% water changes once a week and I do a large water change once a month. I've got everything that's required for a Betta but I believe the quality of food is maybe not so good. In Taiwan we only have one kind I don't have access to Omega one betta pellets Omega one brine shrimp and bloodworms. I'm asking my sister to send me these things but in the meantime what I've noticed is the four fish that have died and the one that's having problems it's always related to fin rot when I buy fish they look healthy but they're sick and then the fish that I have now it looks like you had fin rot because his color is changing and his fins look a little bit raggedy under his neck but then he's not swimming right so what I did was I put him in a small tank with a little bit of water just enough for him to swim I put medicine that fights fungal infection and then I'm going to fast him to see if maybe that helps him with his swimming. I might have accidentally overfed him but I don't think so. the sad truth is I can't get my betta's to live past 6 months. now that I have everything that I need because I was told so many different things hopefully these two other betta's I have will continue to thrive and hopefully my blue veiltail will recover
@@meggrotte4760 hi.. my betta is doing great now. Thanks to ur suggestions. Btw end up i don't really need a heater as im staying in Singapore and my tank is already 80-87°c all year round lol.. i also doing weekly 40 to 70% water change. As im now housing 3 bettas in a divided 20 gallon tank..
@Taz Lin sorry I haven't seen your comment. Thanks to @meg grotte and @perfectly for the advise. Good to know that your betta is doing well now. I agree that if possible a weekly water change of 25% or more is best for the betta then at least 60% monthly. Goodluck to you.
I know this is bit late but i just bought a betta from pet store and i do set up led light,small river stone,water conditioner and 3 gallons of water, but when i put my betta inside the tank.he always stay at the top and not really moving. The fins also looks droppy ( idk how to describe that) may i know what is the problem of my betta?
Hi. have you tested your water quality? also have you cycled your tank before putting your betta inside? normally it can take about a month to fully cycle a tank so you can put your betta safely. if you have not cycled your tank, you may need to change water daily. to remove toxins.
@@minnn1808 Hi the water conditioner only makes the tap water safe by removing chlorine and chloramines. but the ammonia and nitrites are produced from fish wastes and decaying plants and if the aquarium is not cycled, there will be no beneficial bacteria to consume those wastes. eventually the ammonia and nitrites become harmful to the betta. so the tank has to be cycled. the best way to check the water parameters is through water tests like the masterkit from api. meantime you will need to do daily water changes to keep your tank safe fo the betta. goodluck.
@just me yo Do you mean the Evolution Aqua Pure bacterial balls? I used the balls for my weekly maintenance and I'm happy with them as they also make my water crystal clear too. It says in their description that they do increase filtration maturation and start up times. It's best though to still check the water parameters every now and then to make sure that the ammonia and nitrites are well within safely limits when relying to this instead of cycling the tank.
Hey not sure if you can see my comment but I’d like to send you a picture of my Beta to make sure it’s not sick before I travel with him. I have a really good connection with him and if he is sick I’d know to get him stuff. If not then I just got nervous and he will be my best bud for 3-5 years :)
Hi, can you send in my email: aquashowroom2017@gmail.com. Please check my video as well on how a healthy betta looks like: ua-cam.com/video/4qvs3Hd7yNc/v-deo.html
I was thinking if I'll choose a happy music or a sad one but opted for the former as it was a happy ending in the end. Maybe that decision was wrong as several people have pointed it out. Next time ill be more careful in choosing the right music.
My betta fish has a case of popeye at the moment, but it is more than that - it kind of looked as if something had raked itself across the entire left side of his face - there was damage under the eye and at the gills behind the eye. I have absolutely no idea what could possibly have caused this - he's the only living thing in the tank, and none of the decorations are sharp or dangerous, so it is a complete mystery to me what happened to him. Yet, the damage is there. Given the damage to the scales on that side of the face, the popeye must surely be from physical trauma and not infection, so at least I can be sure of the nature of the popeye. I first noticed it last Friday, it is now Tuesday. He has not eaten anything in all that time. He was a slightly over-fed fish at the start - a few days prior I was starting to put him on a diet, but he was still with a little bit of a belly, so at least he started off this fast with a good reserve of fat to sustain him, but for being on the fifth day without eating, I am starting to get nervous even so about his lack of eating. I am worried there might be something wrong with the biomechanics of his mouth that might be preventing him from eating? His mouth is weirdly open most of the time in a way I am not used to seeing, and while he still blows the occasional bubble, he doesn't even *try* to eat anything. Even I put something literally right at his mouth so all he has to do is inhale, and he won't do it. I'm so worried that he can't do it even if he wanted to :( Immediately after seeing the damage on his face on Friday I put him in a smaller tank with no decorations, and completely fresh water with aquarium salt and garlic juice added. On Saturday I gave him an epsom salt bath. On Sunday I gave him a full water change with aquarium salts again. On Monday, with still no signs at all of improvement, I started with erithromycin just to be sure. Even if the popeye is not caused by infection, with so many damaged scales I am still worried about the risk of an infection. The gills on that side in particular don't properly close flush with the body, which also has me very concerned. The damaged scales at the gills have fallen away, so the gills definitely aren't being propped open by anything, but something is still preventing them from working correctly. And he won't, or can't, flare; presumably it is too painful to even try. And my little fish definitely has no vision out of the popped eye. The other eye is still fully functional, but the popped eye is zero functional. I have no idea yet whether or not the vision will be restored, as the eye is still just as popped as ever. It's not getting worse, but it's also not getting better. But most of all, I am dreadfully worried about his lack of eating. If he won't eat, he can't possibly recover. You need food to rebuild and recover from injury! He was such a vigorous and healthy fish, I am so indescribably sad to see him in this condition :( :( :(
I used to have a rainbow swallowtail betta that died from that when it happened I had no idea what was wrong with it but now i do because it showed the same thing that betta did my rainbow swallowtail betta lived in a community tank
Female Raditz Sorry to hear about your betta. I was very worried too when it happened to my betta and I’m glad I managed to treat him before it got worst and he survived.
Aqua Showroom it’s very ok that was a long time ago anyways at first i was really upset but I’m over with it now then when i first got tfat betta i was 8 years old but it lived 4 more years and it died when i was first turned 12 it got sick on my 12th birthday so that wasn’t a very good birthday the betta was in a tank with 2 fancy fantail goldfish and a bristle nose pleco they would leave each other alone so i was letting them stay because they were really friendly towards each other but sadly about five years later not long after i moved the goldfish and pleco to a different tank I’d also gotten 4 more fancy fantail goldfish and a calico fantail goldfish for some reason the pleco decided to turn on the two oldest goldfish in the tank and he sucked the slime off of them and killed them I couldn’t stop the pleco in time and after that I learned not to trust him anymore so I removed him and put him in an old 10 gallon tank then I replaced him in the new tank at that time with some ramshorn snails
Female Raditz Sorry about what happened. There are challenges in creating a community of fish and finding the right match. I have to remove my cory catfish from the tank with my betta as ive discovered it was eating the fins of my betta. So next time we just have to be more careful in choosing the right fish to be combined in a tank. Goodluck to you.
If the pleco killed your gold fish before, i suggest you remove it from the tank and move it to another. Or else it could do the same again with the rest of your gold fish. You need to make a decision which one to save. I made a decision to save my betta and removed my cory catfish from the tank.
My betta is lying on one side not eating his food ....inactive....and on one side there is white patch over his gills wat to do....i hv used almond leaves and all....and he poops so i think he not dealing with dropsy....wat else it cud be
I don’t know what to do to help my betta. He’s 3 years old and he’s acting very sick. Has a filter and water changes, also a heater. He used to be fine but nothing is curing him 😢
Hi Yikko. Sorry to hear about your betta. Is there any visible signs of sickness? If none, it could be due to old age. Bettas can live up to 3 years in captivity. You've done well in keeping your betta live that long. Surely you've taken good care of your betta well.
Hi, I got my betta two days ago. Compared to my other betta he seems very shy but I now think it was illness as today he stayed in the corner of his tank. He struggled to move and his tail fin looks as though he has nipped at it (it did in the shop but not as bad) He got worse throughout the day so I have tubbed him (floating on top of his tank) and I have added meth blue to the water in the tub. Do you have any suggestions at all? I am not sure if he will make it through the night. It is so hard to tell what the illness is. The only other medication I have is for fin rot and ulcers
He already had an almond leaf in his tank but I could add more. His top fin is clamped like yours was. However his head has not expanded. His lips seem a little larger though.
I lost my blue betta😢 we named him Sky❤ he got sick and after watching this video I can sense that he must've been suffering from fungal infection 😢 I was unable to save him. I loved him so much.
Pretty large aquarium, cleanner water and nice care, but bettas like calm waters. Strong filters do stress them; stress weakens the immunological system, making them more suscetible to díseases.
I live in the UK and we don't have Petco here. I normally buy in ebay but i opted already for Catappa-X which is the liquid form of almond leaves. pls see the description for the Catappa-X or my video about it.
Hi, I have 2 tanks, one of them is a Fluval 125 tank, dimensions: L:80cm x W:35cm x H:50cm , Im using this filter to boost the filter of the tank and also to my other tank: VicTsing 300 liters/hour
@@PrinceAnims Hi, the aquarium featured in the video is the Fluval Chi Ii Aquarium (19 Litres): amzn.to/2LLViWz. The filter is inside the top fountain and is included as part of the tank.
Hey can I have some help my betta has been acting really wierd and just recently has been not swimming at all doesn’t really want food and stomic looks big he also is pale has no color what should I do he is not swimming at all
It could be a dropsy as one of the symptoms for such disease is a bloated appearance. Internal bacterial infection most commonly cause this disease. You can try doing 25% water change then lower the water a bit so the betta will not find it hard tk swim to the surface for air. You can try medications like Melafix and follow the instructions there. You can also add almonds leaves like what I've done and keep monitoring while you're doing the medications. Also keep monitoring for new symptoms to appear so to know what exactly causes the problem.
My betta which died looked like the one in this video. I went on a vacation for a while and I saw it dead lying on its side at the bottom of the tank. I don't know what killed it
P Light sorry about the death of your betta. How long did you leave it alone on your vacation and have you provided food when you were away? I normally put holiday food blocks when im going on holiday. Have you checked the water parameters?
I haven't gotten any help from anyone so I hope someone will reply. I got a 2-ish year old Betta from a friend who didn't want it anymore. Noticed right away his fins are all jagged and torn. I'm pretty sure it is Fin rot and/or tail rot. I know for a fact it is a combination of several possible things. They had no heater, filter, did 100% water changes, tank is quite small, and the fake plant MIGHT be too sharp. It's not horrible but its not the softest plant out there. Any ideas how I can get his fins back to normal?
Hi sorry to hear about the betta. Im sure he's in good hands now with you. Please check my video about fin rots so you'll better understand the symptoms, treatment and prevention. Water changes and putting cattapa leaves will be a good start. Here's a video I made about the benefits of cattapa leaves especially on treating fin rots and sick bettas: ua-cam.com/video/5Xcm8a8OflY/v-deo.html I hope he'll recover soon. It could take some time for the fins to grow but at least if you're taking care of him he'll grow them back someday.
My Beta tank's water is very dark from the natural, dried Beta Bed leaves I put in as "soft cover". It's like tea. Or maybe the dark's from the moss balls. I wanted to give him natural "soft cover", like I read. It's 3 1/2 gallon tank. The filter is not cleaning the tea-like color. I read tannins are good for Betas. My gut says I'm doing something very wrong. HELP PLEASE? ANY ADVICE, PEOPLE?
Generally tannins have antibacterial and antifungal properties. If you're concerned about the color, you can do a 50% water change and remove the leaves.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you, thank you! Good deal! I'll do the 50% thing....slowly, so that Beta Boy doesn't get shocked by the new water. He is SUCH a fighter!
so my betta has lost some color and it’s fins have white edges and he sits at the bottom from time to time. he hasn’t lost his appetite and for some reason swims around a lot when i turn on his blue light. i don’t know what’s wrong with him and it’s been like this for about a month with salt and anti fungal treatment.
Hi sorry I didn't see your comment. When do you turn on the blue light? Is it during night time and do you keep it on all night? I turn off my tanks' lights around 11pm till morning. I have the lights on only for about 7hrs. Maybe your betta is stressed/agitated because of the light? Why not try turning off the light at night time to give him time to sleep and rest too.
Aqua Showroom I turn on the light from 6 PM to 9 PM and it’s like that everyday. i try to make the room as dark as possible but he doesn’t seem to sleep until after 12 and wakes up pretty early i think.
@@j4cksonwang147 So you mean when you sleep the lights are off too? If so the light may not be the reason. Are there any signs of fungal or bacterial infection? like fin rots, etc.? Have you looked closely at your betta and see if there are noticeable signs? also how often do you change water? The more frequent the better, e.g. weekly.
Aqua Showroom his fins look frayed and a little messy but it’s looked like that for a few weeks now with no signs of recovery or it getting worse. i do very small water changes almost everyday and i do bigger changes ever two weeks or every month.
@@j4cksonwang147 The frayed and messy fins can be due to poor water quality in the past but since you're doing frequent water quality changes now and there are no other visible signs of infection, then I think that is ok. Just continue to observe him. Also I don't know if there are some plants in your aquarium or decors where he can hide sometimes when he needs to, that can be helpful too. I had experience a similar situation to you of frayed fins and the betta not very active but he is healthy. I contribute the frayed fins when I havent done the water changes as frequently as needed when I got busy. Now im doing frequent water changes already. It may be good also to put a mirror to his reflection once in awhile for a short period and move it away so he can spread his fins, give him exercise and enrichment as it promotes natural territorial behaviour.
I left to a trip for 6 months told my roommate to change the water of my tank, it's super dirty. My Betta fish is puffy, a bit swollen, doesn't eat, is lethargic, and his scales at bit peeling. Idk what's wrong with him
Hi there. So i am experiencing that my betta has fin rot and turning white on bottom part of this body right now and not that active as before. I started using almond leaves yesterday. Can I put aquarium salt and how and when should I change water?
Hi, sorry to hear about your betta. you can do water changes of about 90% for a week and keep observing your betta if there are improvements. If there are no improvements you can try using Myxazin or do methelene blue bath. once your seeing improvements and after treatment, you can use the almond leaves for further protection during his recovery period.
@@bryllem.7509 You can leave the almond leaves. the reason why i said you dont need to put them during water changes is because youre changing water anyway. but if theyre there already, you can leave them. just monitor your betta everyday.
My betta fish that I’ve a had for a bout over a year has been acting this way!! I’m going to stop by the store tomorrow and get the anti fungus treatment bc I really love her 🥺 at first I thought she needed some time but she’s been like this for about a week .

Hi sorry to hear about what's going on with your betta. what really is the problem your seeing with your betta? What are your water test results? Also water changes of at least 50% daily till you're seeing improvements will help. I wish the best for you.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you for responding!🙏🏻 😰 Midas has been hanging out on the bottom of his tank for some time now, he has bloat but not emensely although his head/body is bigger. No bulgy eyes - no ick no torn or rotted fins . They are tapered in of course - Slight discoloration from his abdomen down. He's in a Pyrex glass with a plant and I'm Giving His digestion track a rest until one more day and I'm going to give him a boiled piece of pea. There's no poop yet, but the day I put him in he was reaching for falling brine so I know he still has an appetite. I bought some bacterial medicine today along with almond leaves. He's lopsided aware but his motility is completely off🥺 I wish I could find a doctor for him but I can't find one?

@@BarbicideSmoothie The test strips are not very accurate and is only good for quick and easy test. Please clarify what really is happening with your betta? as a quick solution, you can do at least 50% water change everyday. it really helps. plus the almond leaves. i use the liquid version, Catappa-X so for faster effect.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you , he's hanging out at the bottom lopsided most of the time and its like his personality is there but his body won't respond the way he wants to . It's getting harder for him to swim up to get air even in the shallow water he's in. He's slightly bloated but around his body with slight discoloration. The day I put him in the glass bowl - He was at the bottom of his big tank attempting still to eat his food. I'm going in circles
Hi there, I bought betta fish and its first time with a betta variety. My betta is active but his fins are hurt. Once during water change he fell out of tank and to replace him to tank he fell off, some how I put him back but a little portion of his fins are torn. He is active though but I want you to please suggest me how to regrow his fins back. P.S. I kept him in a bowl glass. And add almond leaves extracted betta care too.
anannya guha Sorry to hear about what happened to your betta. The fins will grow back again in time. Just be patient and continue taking care of your betta.
I already put anti fungus and almond leaves in my betta tank but its fin still stick each other 😢 then my betta fish did not active as before. Can you tell me how cure my fish ?
Hi sorry to hear about your betta. Have you tested your water quality? please check if the water quality parameters are within permissible limits. What medication have you used? The medication I used in the video helped me and so you may want to consider it. You may need to do water changes everyday if your water parameters are not within permissible limits.
I had the same symptoms on my betta, but unfortunately I was too late to detect it I only have indian almond leaves that time i don't have the anti-fungal medication
Hi my betta fish is still struggling between life and death.. since 4 days my fish is not eating I started to treat it with anti fungal blue liquid and Epsom salt today it is showing little signs of recovery..if it recover when will fish eat do you have any idea?
Hi. Im very sorry to hear about your betta. What are the other symptoms that your betta is showing aside from not eating? have you checked the water parameters and water quality? In my experience the betta can survive even for a week without eating. Like the one in the video, it was not eating for several days but I was able to treat the problem and so it was able to gain strength and eat again. so you should check and observe the symptoms and possible reasons for your betta not eating and treat it. salt is good for the healing process. but the fungal medication should be used if the symptoms show fungal infection.
@@aquashowroom4406 hello I do not have anything to check water quality...but I change water every day after dechlorinating and keep water aside for 20 minutes since it started signs of sickness ... but she shows difficulty in breathing.. I suspect that she became sick after my son fed her mosquitoes once..I would appreciate any advice from you..thank you!!
@@Welcome-to-Norway What's the temperature of your water? you should aim for 26-27C temperature. you can also buy water test strips that will show water quality. have you looked closely at your betta and see if there are any visible signs of infection? are you putting the right amount of salt and frequency to the tank? you may need to investigate further on the things ive mentioned so you'll be able to identify the root cause of the problem.
Why couldn’t have seen this video before Mr. Blue died last night? I was told to use aquarium salt. 😢. I had him for 2 years 6 months and 14 days. RIP Mr. Blue.
Priscilla Nancy Im sorry Im not sure about the others that you could put in the aquarium. What I shared in my video was what i did and it helped my betta. You could research a bit more about the symptoms of your betta and what medications could help.
Aqua Showroom thank you, yeah I believe he had swim bladder disorder. I tried all the ways to fix it and was given medication from my local aquatics store. Once we started giving him the medication he seemed to be getting better and then one day he was even worse than before and stopped eating. He died a couple days after that. He was a very healthy beautiful fish before he got sick and I only got to have him for a year. He was in a large 12 gallon tank with just a couple neons and shrimp which he never bothered. RIP smudge the betta 💙
@@laurync6339 At least you did your best to try to save him. Some medications don't work as to how we wanted to for various reasons. Sad to say that we cant have forever our betta and so we just have to take care of it well while we can and enjoy it while it is still alive. Goodluck to you.
if it's just torn fins, at least 50% weekly water change,almond leaves plus varied foods will help the betta's torn fins. i use cattapa X, the liquid variant of indian almond leaves weekly as it works faster: amzn.to/2QLkAVC if youll use the actual leaves themselves, it will take about 3 days for them to start decomposing and so you can leave it for a week and observe your betta for signs of improvement. you can continue the use of it for some time but dont forget the weekly water changes. the advantage of the liquid variant is that everytime you change water you can immediately replenish the tannins from the cattapa x unlike with the actual leaves, it will need to decompose further to replenish the tannins.
@@aquashowroom4406 I have a osaki betta food it is nice and I will change water three days sir my betta fish colour is blue and white but white fin is nipping and edges are red
@@capcut358 Hi, that could be fin rot. You need to do about 90% water change daily for about 10 days and check if there is an improvement. Here's my video about fin rot, causes and how to prevent it: ua-cam.com/video/aYixu-n8tt8/v-deo.html. Goodluck to you.
@@aquashowroom4406 I rescued 2 of them from petsmart and the third one from a local pet store. Thr last one was given to me free because they didn't think she was going to live through the night. I wish I could afford to rescue more. I feel so bad for bettas. They are so sad and sickly in those tiny cups. If I had enough money I would probably become a betta hoarder.
@@amandawitherspoon3988 It's good for you to get them from those locations, take care of them and bring them back to good health. Very few people will do that. Eventhough you're only doing it to some because of limited resources, that's what matters for at least you're doing something good to those bettas.
Sorry to hear about your betta. Have you checked your water parameters and also are there other visible signs on the betta that may have caused for him to stay on top and doesnt move?
Aqua Showroom thank you so much I have fed him a pea and he is swimming a lot more he is starting to swim downwards which is awesome and his colours and fins are starting to come back ✨
@@mohammadbasim712 is he swimming sideways or at the sides of the aquarium? try putting indian almond leaves or this liquid form: ua-cam.com/video/5Xcm8a8OflY/v-deo.html they have healing benefits.
Ritam Maity hi. Based on the video i used Waterlife medicine. You can check their manual and see what medicine is applicable to the condition of your betta: irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/1cf59eb9/files/uploaded/808716-Tropical-guide.pdf Api has also their own guide on which medicine is applicable to different symptoms: www.apifishcare.com/pdf/Tropical_Fish_First_Aid_Chart.pdf
Thanks a lot for the comments. I did a research on the temperature the bettas will thrive and they will between 25-28C. But I agree the temperature at one point was 24C and so was low.
It died from shock when it jumped out of the tank and lay there without water for 5 minutes we thought it was dead but then it started breathing but was hardly moving, wasn’t eating and needed the support from a nearby plant and then it died :(
Hi Leanna. How long you think it has not eaten? Have you dropped the food directly visible to your betta that you can confirm it really didn't eat it? You may want to look closely on your betta if there are other symptoms causing it to stay on top and not eating. A partial water change and monitoring water conditions (e.g. temperature, water parameters) may also help. Goodluck to you and keep us posted of your betta's condition.
Hi, excelent video. I got two bettas that died weeks ago, similar simptoms. at that moment I didn’t know what to do and which medicine to use. Now on i have another betta with the same signs, it seems it is recovering. The only cause i am guessing is the type of substrate, similar to the one you have. There is no problem on others with no or different substrate. Probably I don’t know the correct way to clean it. How do you do it? What do you think? thank you
xcube Sorry to hear about your two bettas. If it is a recurring problem, it could mean that the water parameters may not be in their right levels. Please check your water parameters. Also you need to check the frequency of the water changes you’re doing in your aquarium. Water changes are depending on the size of the aquarium, the quantity of the fish inside, etc. It is recommended to do 10-15% water changes weekly but again depending on the size, quantity of fish inside and other factors. Goodluck to you.
I was out of station for 4 days and could not feed my Betta ! When I came back today, the Betta is really thin with fins clumped together... He is not eating anything ...He seems very lethargic... Can I follow the same steps as you have done? So far- I have added almond leaves and a bit of aquarium salt... Since I was not sure if it was a fungal/bacterial infection, I have not added any antifungal/antibacterial solutions to the water. Any advice ??
Same thing happened to ours. We were gone for a couple days and one beta is fine. The other is really thin with fins clumped together. We the back fin actually looks like it is tangled. Not eating and lethargic as well.
I agree that it is important to keep the control the flow of the water from the filter. it can be seen from the video that water flows through the corrugated sides of the filter and as such the flow is controlled when water drops to the aquarium. maybe you are referring to the almond leaves where water flows and as such the flow of water is uncontrolled. but that is only temporary. however despite of that it can also be seen at the other sides of the filter that there is little to no movement of water and therefore the filter on that regard is not that strong.
my fighter fish is looks like this sick to his tail is stick each I love my Betta fish so much I don't want my fish died I will try to saving my fish with this video. and I will give you a sub
Indeed he looked dead and i thought he won't be able to make it. I understand you may think he died in the end but what i shared is exactly what happened that he survived that event. What is it for me to gain to share a wrong information.
I know when the betta is flaring, it means he got mad, showing off his power. But to me, it just looks so cute.
Yeah because that's also the time they show their fins in full so it's a beauty to watch indeed.
Not all the time. It can also mean he/ she is sick, their gills will turn black which is normally done when flaring. It’s due to a bacterial infection or lack of oxygen and struggle.
@@aquashowroom4406 you do realize they flare their gills. Not fins. Their fins stay the same. Their tails literally just fan out. Yikes…..
@@aquashowroom4406 as for their tails that’s only done to whipping them and then slowly gliding in the water when they see the same sex in a neighboring tank if they’re not put in danger by adding that same sex fish to their tank. Normally is the case for males. Females can live in schools. Or quads. Hope you’re not an actual breeder. You’re not too informed about their behaviors and their reactivity. Much less how their reactivity is actually performed
@@gettheoffmyaccount.6412 It is also a good sign bro flaring is the routine habit of betta,betta are very easy to get sick but their defense is more
Same happened to my betta .. I did the medication.. now it's at the stage of recovery .. fins should open up a little more.. it's lively now.. but was worried cause of it's fins and was not sure if the treatment worked .. this video helped me confirm that he's recovering well. Thank you very much !
Hi Jemima. Sorry to hear about your betta but glad to know it's recovering now. I hope that your betta will fully recover. Goodluck.
What's with the happy music? The damn fish almost died here! XD
Hi, I understand what you mean. It also crossed my mind when i made the video. in the end I just want to tell the story on a positive light coz the fish survived. So the reason why I chose the upbeat music. Don't want to be gloomy on my videos.
@Brantley Cannon scam
Amazing video. I greatly appreciate you saving this beautiful little guy. God bless
Should have more subs for such a good quality vid. I'm planning on getting a Betta and I'm a beginner doing some detailed research. Any tips you would like to give for a Betta lover honorable beta sensei😁😀😁
Mona Harris thank you very much. If it’s your first time to get a betta, here are some tips:
- look around for beautiful bettas. I prefer male halfmoon bettas because of their colors and wide fins. When you look at the bettas, check their fins if there are some ragged fins, you should aim for flawless fins. You can find some beautiful bettas in pet shops and even ebay but i personally prefer to order them from Thailand as they have good selections of beautiful bettas. You can check some here:
www.shoppingisexciting.com/betta-shop
- choose at least a 5 gallon tank for a happy and healthy betta and also to avoid very frequent water changes.
- maintain water quality. You need to maintain water quality for a healthy betta, preferrably doing 50% water change weekly for a 5 gallon tank. Use water conditioner to tap water before using it in your tank (i use this: amzn.to/2LJ8goN). Add beneficial bacteria every water changes. I use this biological enhancer: amzn.to/2O1CUGK. Maintain critical water parameters like temperature (between 75degF - 82degF), ammonia and nitrites level, etc. I use this for easy water test: amzn.to/2OpgiRy
- cycle your tank before putting your betta. Maybe allow at least four weeks before introducing your betta to the tank.
- If you choose plastic ornaments to your tank, you need to ensure that they won’t rip the fins of your betta. I prefer to use live plants.
- Observe your betta well so you’ll be able to immediately see any changes in behaviour or signs of poor health. Have some medications for common betta prpblems (fin rot, fungus infection, etc.) handy so they’re available when you need them.
- I use this for varied food of my bettas: amzn.to/2LTXaN3
- I use this for cleaning the gravels in my tank: amzn.to/2LYgPLG
Hope the above helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
Aqua Showroom thank you once again and thank u for the tips u got ur self a subscriber.❤️😀😊😄😄😄😁
Mona Harris thank you very much. Goodluck to you.
Thank you for this video! My male betta fish had pop eye on his left eye, whiteness in his left eye and some disease that made him not act like he used to and I was able to catch the disease from the start and able to cure him of it within days. Now he is happy and the fins that were snipped, because of the infection, are growing.
Please keep these videos going because I am an amateur betta fish hobbyist.
☺
Nestle Salcedo Happy to know that you were able to catch it early and was able to cure his disease. That’s also what happened to my betta that I was able to know the disease early and was able to cure it. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best for your betta.
I noticed something weird with my betta’s eye today. I thought maybe it was sand in or on it. He has the sand for rocks at the bottom of his tank.
So what did you do?
You realized in time 👏
Indeed I'm lucky to have known it early and addressed the problem immediately.
I was afraid to watch to the end. I feared he would die. I wouldn't have been able to sleep.
Yeah I was so concerned he wont be able to make it. Good thing that what I've done worked.
Your betta seems happy/healthy 🐟
I have a blue betta named aqua. He was so gorgeous and active. But then he showed some signs of lethargy, fin rot and probably a few more diseases. I put him in a quarantine tank with some aquarium salt and almond leaves. One day after, he is getting better. Thank god!
Im happy to know that Aqua survived. You're lucky to have saved Aqua to such diseases.
@@aquashowroom4406 aw thanks!
@@aquashowroom4406 lmao i just realized ur channel name starts with aqua- what a coincidense-
Indeed i realized it too. What a beautiful name it is.
How long did you leave him in quarantine with salt and almond leaves?
great video, I'll have to re watch with a pen and paper and write a list, have one healthy (want to keep it that way) and a new rescue , doesn't look to serious, but you never know
Thanks a lot for watching. It’s good to have medications available on hand ready when you need it. Hope your betta will continue to be healthy and won’t need such. Goodluck.
Really thanks for the video, I got my first bettas, and on the second day, all of them suddenly looks too calm and when I saw your video, they are showing similar symptoms, so I can take immediate action for recovery before everything become too bad, now after 24 hrs doing the treatment they're active again, still need to learn a lot about these babies, and your video certainly help this newbie :)
Hi, im happy to know that my video has helped your bettas. Extra vigilance and care to our bettas really produce results. Ive also made this Comprehensive Guide to Betta Care which can really help in giving the best care to our bettas: ua-cam.com/video/4qvs3Hd7yNc/v-deo.html
Goodluck to your bettas and I wish you well.
When my betta got sick w/bloat I gave him a non iodized table salt bath to cure it Course I did research before I put salt in his tank
He's feeling. a lot better now 🐟🙂
I'm happy to know that your betta is feeling better now. We're lucky that we were able to provide the treatment to help heal our sick betta. Goodluck to your betta. Hope he'll recover fully.
I am so thankful that you do this vlog or video because i just got a betta its 1 week from now and i dont know if my betta is sick or not. Because i just save them from the pet shop in some malls because when i saw them in the plastic cups i got so sad for the fish. And now i am thankful and i can determine right a way if my betta is sick or not. Thank you again.
Thank you also for watching my videos.
What first aid kit do u have on hand in the case of emergency? Can do a video?
Hi, great video. I'm guessing you're in the UK? I had my betta go from healthy to deaths door in 2 days. I researched and discovered he had velvet. I also bought Waterlife, it cured him in around 3 days. It's absolutely fantastic medicine and not stressful on the fish. I wouldn't ever use anything but Waterlife in the future.
Yes I am from the UK. thanks for sharing your experience and happy to know that you're betta responded well to your medication.
My last betta had this but when I spot the signs it was too late, but now I found your video, I hope it'll rlly help when it happens to my betta
Sorry to hear about your last betta. i hope too that this video will be helpful in proactively addressing a problem with our bettas. early monitoring and detection will really help in solving the problem. Goodluck to you.
@@aquashowroom4406 yeahh it's ok, and since I currently have one more Im going to be more observant to it so I can prevent the same thing from happening
@@articninja6342 I wish the best to you and your betta. Hope he'll live a healthy and happy life.
@@aquashowroom4406 ayee thank you!!
I have a sick betta who is bent all of a sudden and swims in circles . I did a salt bath, antibiotics, now the leaves, tried feeding a pea, he won't eat. I don't know what else to do, now he just sleeps in his log and watches us😥
It looks like the filter is to strong for him mabbey add a sponge or something looks like has hard time swimming but idk lol
Thanks for the advise. I always observe my betta and found that it is ok with the filter. I also put the cover on top of the filter so to minimize the flow.
Really! That is a thing? I have a similar tank and I just moved him from a regular old bowl to the filter, I thought is would be better, but he just hangs out near the wall now and sleeps vertical. It’s wild, actually.
My betta has been acting really wired and today he was really pale and at the bottom of the tank doing nothing I’m scared so I’m going to try to save him
Soul Inscribed Mine was doing the same thing! Do you know what is happening to your betta?
Animal Lover88 he has been better lately, but I turned the filter down about 75% and the tank is warmer. I think he was doing it for heat. I notice he’s more playful when it’s warmer. A thermometer and a heat source will help, they like it warm :)
My betta used to be very active till wed night i accidentally over fed him. Now he just stay at one corner.. not eating at all.. keep going to the surface to get air.. his beautiful red colour fading.. i just do not know what to do..
I'm only a beginner but I was wondering does your Betta Have a heater? I found that my fish were dying because I was given wrong information about water changing I do about a 30% water change for a 3 and 1/2 gallon tank and I clean out the tank once a month this is really done wonders in preventing fin rot. my suggestion would be don't worry if your fish doesn't eat he can go a few days without eating let's make clear out his system also try using almond leaves I heard the great for helping fish to recover and you need to see what illness he may have it could be bacterial or could be fungus
@@meggrotte4760 Hey, I'm a fellow betta owner here and I'm just recommending you do more water changes than one once a month. You do have a larger size then most people recommend at least so thats really good! But, you do only have a 3 1/2, so for that you must at least be doing a water change a week (if not more). You could do a heavy one and then a 25% if you want weekly. I mean no hate, just some recommendations because overtime the amount of nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia will do more harm than good by only doing a water change once a month.
@@mahrukh1299 don't worry about it I'm not easily offended. Actually I think I wrote incorrectly but I do 25% water changes once a week and I do a large water change once a month. I've got everything that's required for a Betta but I believe the quality of food is maybe not so good. In Taiwan we only have one kind I don't have access to Omega one betta pellets Omega one brine shrimp and bloodworms. I'm asking my sister to send me these things but in the meantime what I've noticed is the four fish that have died and the one that's having problems it's always related to fin rot when I buy fish they look healthy but they're sick and then the fish that I have now it looks like you had fin rot because his color is changing and his fins look a little bit raggedy under his neck but then he's not swimming right so what I did was I put him in a small tank with a little bit of water just enough for him to swim I put medicine that fights fungal infection and then I'm going to fast him to see if maybe that helps him with his swimming. I might have accidentally overfed him but I don't think so. the sad truth is I can't get my betta's to live past 6 months. now that I have everything that I need because I was told so many different things hopefully these two other betta's I have will continue to thrive and hopefully my blue veiltail will recover
@@meggrotte4760 hi.. my betta is doing great now. Thanks to ur suggestions. Btw end up i don't really need a heater as im staying in Singapore and my tank is already 80-87°c all year round lol.. i also doing weekly 40 to 70% water change. As im now housing 3 bettas in a divided 20 gallon tank..
@Taz Lin sorry I haven't seen your comment. Thanks to @meg grotte and @perfectly for the advise. Good to know that your betta is doing well now. I agree that if possible a weekly water change of 25% or more is best for the betta then at least 60% monthly. Goodluck to you.
I know this is bit late but i just bought a betta from pet store and i do set up led light,small river stone,water conditioner and 3 gallons of water,
but when i put my betta inside the tank.he always stay at the top and not really moving. The fins also looks droppy ( idk how to describe that) may i know what is the problem of my betta?
Hi. have you tested your water quality? also have you cycled your tank before putting your betta inside? normally it can take about a month to fully cycle a tank so you can put your betta safely. if you have not cycled your tank, you may need to change water daily. to remove toxins.
@@aquashowroom4406 i get it so the water conditioner can't remove the toxins? Btw thank you for the info
@@minnn1808 Hi the water conditioner only makes the tap water safe by removing chlorine and chloramines. but the ammonia and nitrites are produced from fish wastes and decaying plants and if the aquarium is not cycled, there will be no beneficial bacteria to consume those wastes. eventually the ammonia and nitrites become harmful to the betta. so the tank has to be cycled. the best way to check the water parameters is through water tests like the masterkit from api. meantime you will need to do daily water changes to keep your tank safe fo the betta. goodluck.
@just me yo Do you mean the Evolution Aqua Pure bacterial balls? I used the balls for my weekly maintenance and I'm happy with them as they also make my water crystal clear too. It says in their description that they do increase filtration maturation and start up times. It's best though to still check the water parameters every now and then to make sure that the ammonia and nitrites are well within safely limits when relying to this instead of cycling the tank.
Do you know what caused the fungal infection in the first place. knowing what caused it would help us to prevent this from happening.
Hey not sure if you can see my comment but I’d like to send you a picture of my Beta to make sure it’s not sick before I travel with him. I have a really good connection with him and if he is sick I’d know to get him stuff. If not then I just got nervous and he will be my best bud for 3-5 years :)
Hi, can you send in my email: aquashowroom2017@gmail.com. Please check my video as well on how a healthy betta looks like: ua-cam.com/video/4qvs3Hd7yNc/v-deo.html
My betta passed away :( it’s always hard to see these little fellas go
Im sorry to hear that. I agree its hard to see our beloved betta go. Sad to say we can't keep them forever. I wish you well.
2:32 the betta looks dead and the happy music was playing haha
I was thinking if I'll choose a happy music or a sad one but opted for the former as it was a happy ending in the end. Maybe that decision was wrong as several people have pointed it out. Next time ill be more careful in choosing the right music.
@@aquashowroom4406 I loved the end, because it was happy!!! It was a very good video
Thanks a lot. I appreciate your comments.
My betta fish has a case of popeye at the moment, but it is more than that - it kind of looked as if something had raked itself across the entire left side of his face - there was damage under the eye and at the gills behind the eye. I have absolutely no idea what could possibly have caused this - he's the only living thing in the tank, and none of the decorations are sharp or dangerous, so it is a complete mystery to me what happened to him. Yet, the damage is there. Given the damage to the scales on that side of the face, the popeye must surely be from physical trauma and not infection, so at least I can be sure of the nature of the popeye.
I first noticed it last Friday, it is now Tuesday. He has not eaten anything in all that time. He was a slightly over-fed fish at the start - a few days prior I was starting to put him on a diet, but he was still with a little bit of a belly, so at least he started off this fast with a good reserve of fat to sustain him, but for being on the fifth day without eating, I am starting to get nervous even so about his lack of eating. I am worried there might be something wrong with the biomechanics of his mouth that might be preventing him from eating? His mouth is weirdly open most of the time in a way I am not used to seeing, and while he still blows the occasional bubble, he doesn't even *try* to eat anything. Even I put something literally right at his mouth so all he has to do is inhale, and he won't do it. I'm so worried that he can't do it even if he wanted to :(
Immediately after seeing the damage on his face on Friday I put him in a smaller tank with no decorations, and completely fresh water with aquarium salt and garlic juice added. On Saturday I gave him an epsom salt bath. On Sunday I gave him a full water change with aquarium salts again. On Monday, with still no signs at all of improvement, I started with erithromycin just to be sure. Even if the popeye is not caused by infection, with so many damaged scales I am still worried about the risk of an infection.
The gills on that side in particular don't properly close flush with the body, which also has me very concerned. The damaged scales at the gills have fallen away, so the gills definitely aren't being propped open by anything, but something is still preventing them from working correctly. And he won't, or can't, flare; presumably it is too painful to even try.
And my little fish definitely has no vision out of the popped eye. The other eye is still fully functional, but the popped eye is zero functional. I have no idea yet whether or not the vision will be restored, as the eye is still just as popped as ever. It's not getting worse, but it's also not getting better.
But most of all, I am dreadfully worried about his lack of eating. If he won't eat, he can't possibly recover. You need food to rebuild and recover from injury! He was such a vigorous and healthy fish, I am so indescribably sad to see him in this condition :( :( :(
I used to have a rainbow swallowtail betta that died from that when it happened I had no idea what was wrong with it but now i do because it showed the same thing that betta did my rainbow swallowtail betta lived in a community tank
Female Raditz Sorry to hear about your betta. I was very worried too when it happened to my betta and I’m glad I managed to treat him before it got worst and he survived.
Aqua Showroom it’s very ok that was a long time ago anyways at first i was really upset but I’m over with it now then when i first got tfat betta i was 8 years old but it lived 4 more years and it died when i was first turned 12 it got sick on my 12th birthday so that wasn’t a very good birthday the betta was in a tank with 2 fancy fantail goldfish and a bristle nose pleco they would leave each other alone so i was letting them stay because they were really friendly towards each other but sadly about five years later not long after i moved the goldfish and pleco to a different tank I’d also gotten 4 more fancy fantail goldfish and a calico fantail goldfish for some reason the pleco decided to turn on the two oldest goldfish in the tank and he sucked the slime off of them and killed them I couldn’t stop the pleco in time and after that I learned not to trust him anymore so I removed him and put him in an old 10 gallon tank then I replaced him in the new tank at that time with some ramshorn snails
Female Raditz Sorry about what happened. There are challenges in creating a community of fish and finding the right match. I have to remove my cory catfish from the tank with my betta as ive discovered it was eating the fins of my betta. So next time we just have to be more careful in choosing the right fish to be combined in a tank. Goodluck to you.
Aqua Showroom thx I actually used to have five goldfish I have 2 left the pleco killed 3 goldfish
If the pleco killed your gold fish before, i suggest you remove it from the tank and move it to another. Or else it could do the same again with the rest of your gold fish. You need to make a decision which one to save. I made a decision to save my betta and removed my cory catfish from the tank.
My betta is lying on one side not eating his food ....inactive....and on one side there is white patch over his gills wat to do....i hv used almond leaves and all....and he poops so i think he not dealing with dropsy....wat else it cud be
I don’t know what to do to help my betta. He’s 3 years old and he’s acting very sick. Has a filter and water changes, also a heater. He used to be fine but nothing is curing him 😢
Hi Yikko. Sorry to hear about your betta. Is there any visible signs of sickness? If none, it could be due to old age. Bettas can live up to 3 years in captivity. You've done well in keeping your betta live that long. Surely you've taken good care of your betta well.
Thanks you for sharing.
Just glad it was a happy ending :) Does this fungal infection have a name?
Thanks too for sharing. Based on the symptoms that my bettas had shown, it could be dropsy. Im just lucky that the treatment I used worked.
Hi, I got my betta two days ago. Compared to my other betta he seems very shy but I now think it was illness as today he stayed in the corner of his tank. He struggled to move and his tail fin looks as though he has nipped at it (it did in the shop but not as bad) He got worse throughout the day so I have tubbed him (floating on top of his tank) and I have added meth blue to the water in the tub. Do you have any suggestions at all? I am not sure if he will make it through the night. It is so hard to tell what the illness is. The only other medication I have is for fin rot and ulcers
He already had an almond leaf in his tank but I could add more. His top fin is clamped like yours was. However his head has not expanded. His lips seem a little larger though.
I lost my blue betta😢 we named him Sky❤ he got sick and after watching this video I can sense that he must've been suffering from fungal infection 😢
I was unable to save him. I loved him so much.
I had a rosetail platinum betta that I paid a pretty penny for but I couldn’t save it. I quarantined it and use MelaFix. Im happy you saved yours
Sorry to hear what happened. Unfortunately there are times when there's just nothing we can do to save our betta. I hope the best for you.
I like your videos💝💝
Thank you
Pretty large aquarium, cleanner water and nice care, but bettas like calm waters. Strong filters do stress them; stress weakens the immunological system, making them more suscetible to díseases.
I agree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hi, can you please tell me where I can get an almond leaves? Do they have that at the pet store like Petco? Thanks
I live in the UK and we don't have Petco here. I normally buy in ebay but i opted already for Catappa-X which is the liquid form of almond leaves. pls see the description for the Catappa-X or my video about it.
You overfed it I think, right away it had a bloated stomach
if its alright with you, can you tell me what's your filter called and the measurement of your tank, simply curious about it
Hi, I have 2 tanks, one of them is a Fluval 125 tank, dimensions:
L:80cm x W:35cm x H:50cm ,
Im using this filter to boost the filter of the tank and also to my other tank: VicTsing 300 liters/hour
@@aquashowroom4406 oh, i meant the tank and filter in this video, my bad forgot to add it
@@PrinceAnims Hi, the aquarium featured in the video is the Fluval Chi Ii Aquarium (19 Litres): amzn.to/2LLViWz. The filter is inside the top fountain and is included as part of the tank.

Great effort
Thank you
Hey can I have some help my betta has been acting really wierd and just recently has been not swimming at all doesn’t really want food and stomic looks big he also is pale has no color what should I do he is not swimming at all
It could be a dropsy as one of the symptoms for such disease is a bloated appearance. Internal bacterial infection most commonly cause this disease. You can try doing 25% water change then lower the water a bit so the betta will not find it hard tk swim to the surface for air. You can try medications like Melafix and follow the instructions there. You can also add almonds leaves like what I've done and keep monitoring while you're doing the medications. Also keep monitoring for new symptoms to appear so to know what exactly causes the problem.
Aqua Showroom thx but he unfortunately died today 😭
@@rosemargie257 Im very sorry to hear that. Hope you're ok.
Aqua Showroom thx I’m ok 🙏
@@rosemargie257 Good to know that. Goodluck to you and be safe always.
My betta which died looked like the one in this video. I went on a vacation for a while and I saw it dead lying on its side at the bottom of the tank. I don't know what killed it
P Light sorry about the death of your betta. How long did you leave it alone on your vacation and have you provided food when you were away? I normally put holiday food blocks when im going on holiday. Have you checked the water parameters?
I haven't gotten any help from anyone so I hope someone will reply. I got a 2-ish year old Betta from a friend who didn't want it anymore. Noticed right away his fins are all jagged and torn. I'm pretty sure it is Fin rot and/or tail rot. I know for a fact it is a combination of several possible things. They had no heater, filter, did 100% water changes, tank is quite small, and the fake plant MIGHT be too sharp. It's not horrible but its not the softest plant out there. Any ideas how I can get his fins back to normal?
Hi sorry to hear about the betta. Im sure he's in good hands now with you. Please check my video about fin rots so you'll better understand the symptoms, treatment and prevention. Water changes and putting cattapa leaves will be a good start. Here's a video I made about the benefits of cattapa leaves especially on treating fin rots and sick bettas: ua-cam.com/video/5Xcm8a8OflY/v-deo.html
I hope he'll recover soon. It could take some time for the fins to grow but at least if you're taking care of him he'll grow them back someday.
My Beta tank's water is very dark from the natural, dried Beta Bed leaves I put in as "soft cover". It's like tea. Or maybe the dark's from the moss balls. I wanted to give him natural "soft cover", like I read. It's 3 1/2 gallon tank. The filter is not cleaning the tea-like color. I read tannins are good for Betas. My gut says I'm doing something very wrong. HELP PLEASE? ANY ADVICE, PEOPLE?
Generally tannins have antibacterial and antifungal properties. If you're concerned about the color, you can do a 50% water change and remove the leaves.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you, thank you! Good deal! I'll do the 50% thing....slowly, so that Beta Boy doesn't get shocked by the new water. He is SUCH a fighter!
@@evelyndolan1119 Goodluck. I wish the best for you.
so my betta has lost some color and it’s fins have white edges and he sits at the bottom from time to time. he hasn’t lost his appetite and for some reason swims around a lot when i turn on his blue light. i don’t know what’s wrong with him and it’s been like this for about a month with salt and anti fungal treatment.
Hi sorry I didn't see your comment. When do you turn on the blue light? Is it during night time and do you keep it on all night? I turn off my tanks' lights around 11pm till morning. I have the lights on only for about 7hrs. Maybe your betta is stressed/agitated because of the light? Why not try turning off the light at night time to give him time to sleep and rest too.
Aqua Showroom I turn on the light from 6 PM to 9 PM and it’s like that everyday. i try to make the room as dark as possible but he doesn’t seem to sleep until after 12 and wakes up pretty early i think.
@@j4cksonwang147 So you mean when you sleep the lights are off too? If so the light may not be the reason. Are there any signs of fungal or bacterial infection? like fin rots, etc.? Have you looked closely at your betta and see if there are noticeable signs? also how often do you change water? The more frequent the better, e.g. weekly.
Aqua Showroom his fins look frayed and a little messy but it’s looked like that for a few weeks now with no signs of recovery or it getting worse. i do very small water changes almost everyday and i do bigger changes ever two weeks or every month.
@@j4cksonwang147 The frayed and messy fins can be due to poor water quality in the past but since you're doing frequent water quality changes now and there are no other visible signs of infection, then I think that is ok. Just continue to observe him. Also I don't know if there are some plants in your aquarium or decors where he can hide sometimes when he needs to, that can be helpful too. I had experience a similar situation to you of frayed fins and the betta not very active but he is healthy. I contribute the frayed fins when I havent done the water changes as frequently as needed when I got busy. Now im doing frequent water changes already. It may be good also to put a mirror to his reflection once in awhile for a short period and move it away so he can spread his fins, give him exercise and enrichment as it promotes natural territorial behaviour.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks too for watching
I left to a trip for 6 months told my roommate to change the water of my tank, it's super dirty. My Betta fish is puffy, a bit swollen, doesn't eat, is lethargic, and his scales at bit peeling. Idk what's wrong with him
caolled fish bloat
Hi there. So i am experiencing that my betta has fin rot and turning white on bottom part of this body right now and not that active as before. I started using almond leaves yesterday. Can I put aquarium salt and how and when should I change water?
And when I change water, should i add more almond leaves?
Also my water test is fine unless if my water test kit is not accurate, i have the api test strips btw
Hi, sorry to hear about your betta. you can do water changes of about 90% for a week and keep observing your betta if there are improvements. If there are no improvements you can try using Myxazin or do methelene blue bath. once your seeing improvements and after treatment, you can use the almond leaves for further protection during his recovery period.
@@aquashowroom4406 thanks for replying, should I remove the almonds leaves then? Or can I just add almond leaves to it and do water change everyday
@@bryllem.7509 You can leave the almond leaves. the reason why i said you dont need to put them during water changes is because youre changing water anyway. but if theyre there already, you can leave them. just monitor your betta everyday.
Should I partial change the water before adding another dosage of medicine?
If the end of treatment is done, it's best to do at least 50% water change before beginning a new treatment.
My betta is super sweet, like he likes people and he never flashes his fighting fins.
That's good that he's super sweet. It's nice to see a betta who always like seeing you and always comes around when he sees you.
Aqua Showroom my girlfriend named him Ruth Beta ... so maybe that softened him up lol
@@soulinscribed7887 Nice name. That probably is one of the factors or maybe it's just his nature that he loves people much.

Very informative my betta Midas is on his second day and 1 more day then - the pea treatment. I've checked the water but he's not shown any improvements & he hasn't pooped still!

Hi sorry to hear about what's going on with your betta. what really is the problem your seeing with your betta? What are your water test results? Also water changes of at least 50% daily till you're seeing improvements will help. I wish the best for you.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you for responding!🙏🏻 😰 Midas has been hanging out on the bottom of his tank for some time now, he has bloat but not emensely although his head/body is bigger. No bulgy eyes - no ick no torn or rotted fins . They are tapered in of course - Slight discoloration from his abdomen down. He's in a Pyrex glass with a plant and I'm Giving His digestion track a rest until one more day and I'm going to give him a boiled piece of pea. There's no poop yet, but the day I put him in he was reaching for falling brine so I know he still has an appetite. I bought some bacterial medicine today along with almond leaves. He's lopsided aware but his motility is completely off🥺 I wish I could find a doctor for him but I can't find one? Thank you for your help, I know we think ours alone are special but he's a little trooper with such character I swear he's hung on because he knows we love him soo much 🖤🧡🖤
@@aquashowroom4406 I've done test strip and they're good it shows? - he's in a planted tank only with stow away snails 🤔 And changing his water in the glass too hes surrounded by fake/ real plants around outside the glass for comfort and his eyesight glass.
@@BarbicideSmoothie The test strips are not very accurate and is only good for quick and easy test. Please clarify what really is happening with your betta? as a quick solution, you can do at least 50% water change everyday. it really helps. plus the almond leaves. i use the liquid version, Catappa-X so for faster effect.
@@aquashowroom4406 Thank you , he's hanging out at the bottom lopsided most of the time and its like his personality is there but his body won't respond the way he wants to . It's getting harder for him to swim up to get air even in the shallow water he's in. He's slightly bloated but around his body with slight discoloration. The day I put him in the glass bowl - He was at the bottom of his big tank attempting still to eat his food.
I'm going in circles
Hi there, I bought betta fish and its first time with a betta variety. My betta is active but his fins are hurt. Once during water change he fell out of tank and to replace him to tank he fell off, some how I put him back but a little portion of his fins are torn. He is active though but I want you to please suggest me how to regrow his fins back.
P.S. I kept him in a bowl glass. And add almond leaves extracted betta care too.

Hi sorry to hear about your betta. Have you tested your water quality? please check if the water quality parameters are within permissible limits. What medication have you used? The medication I used in the video helped me and so you may want to consider it. You may need to do water changes everyday if your water parameters are not within permissible limits.

Hi my betta fish is still struggling between life and death.. since 4 days my fish is not eating I started to treat it with anti fungal blue liquid and Epsom salt today it is showing little signs of recovery..if it recover when will fish eat do you have any idea?
Hi. Im very sorry to hear about your betta. What are the other symptoms that your betta is showing aside from not eating? have you checked the water parameters and water quality? In my experience the betta can survive even for a week without eating. Like the one in the video, it was not eating for several days but I was able to treat the problem and so it was able to gain strength and eat again. so you should check and observe the symptoms and possible reasons for your betta not eating and treat it. salt is good for the healing process. but the fungal medication should be used if the symptoms show fungal infection.
@@aquashowroom4406 hello I do not have anything to check water quality...but I change water every day after dechlorinating and keep water aside for 20 minutes since it started signs of sickness ... but she shows difficulty in breathing..

@@Welcome-to-Norway What's the temperature of your water? you should aim for 26-27C temperature. you can also buy water test strips that will show water quality. have you looked closely at your betta and see if there are any visible signs of infection? are you putting the right amount of salt and frequency to the tank? you may need to investigate further on the things ive mentioned so you'll be able to identify the root cause of the problem.

Aqua Showroom thank you, yeah I believe he had swim bladder disorder. I tried all the ways to fix it and was given medication from my local aquatics store. Once we started giving him the medication he seemed to be getting better and then one day he was even worse than before and stopped eating. He died a couple days after that. He was a very healthy beautiful fish before he got sick and I only got to have him for a year. He was in a large 12 gallon tank with just a couple neons and shrimp which he never bothered.

Almond leaf can cure toren fin of betta how many days required please reply sir pls
if it's just torn fins, at least 50% weekly water change,almond leaves plus varied foods will help the betta's torn fins. i use cattapa X, the liquid variant of indian almond leaves weekly as it works faster: amzn.to/2QLkAVC
if youll use the actual leaves themselves, it will take about 3 days for them to start decomposing and so you can leave it for a week and observe your betta for signs of improvement. you can continue the use of it for some time but dont forget the weekly water changes. the advantage of the liquid variant is that everytime you change water you can immediately replenish the tannins from the cattapa x unlike with the actual leaves, it will need to decompose further to replenish the tannins.

Just got my beta fish a few days ago and now it’s been just sitting at the top, not really eating. Do you think this will work for mine?
Hi Leanna. How long you think it has not eaten? Have you dropped the food directly visible to your betta that you can confirm it really didn't eat it? You may want to look closely on your betta if there are other symptoms causing it to stay on top and not eating. A partial water change and monitoring water conditions (e.g. temperature, water parameters) may also help. Goodluck to you and keep us posted of your betta's condition.
Hi, excelent video. I got two bettas that died weeks ago, similar simptoms. at that moment I didn’t know what to do and which medicine to use. Now on i have another betta with the same signs, it seems it is recovering. The only cause i am guessing is the type of substrate, similar to the one you have. There is no problem on others with no or different substrate. Probably I don’t know the correct way to clean it. How do you do it? What do you think? thank you
xcube Sorry to hear about your two bettas. If it is a recurring problem, it could mean that the water parameters may not be in their right levels. Please check your water parameters. Also you need to check the frequency of the water changes you’re doing in your aquarium. Water changes are depending on the size of the aquarium, the quantity of the fish inside, etc. It is recommended to do 10-15% water changes weekly but again depending on the size, quantity of fish inside and other factors. Goodluck to you.

Your filter is way to strong, poor thing it may be stressing it out!
I agree that it is important to keep the control the flow of the water from the filter. it can be seen from the video that water flows through the corrugated sides of the filter and as such the flow is controlled when water drops to the aquarium. maybe you are referring to the almond leaves where water flows and as such the flow of water is uncontrolled. but that is only temporary. however despite of that it can also be seen at the other sides of the filter that there is little to no movement of water and therefore the filter on that regard is not that strong.
