I. General Information
- The first step in diagnosis is to monitor how care and feeding. These result in fish health problems often Do:
+ Keep clean water, regular water changes.
+ Always remove the chlorine in tap water before use or to wreak.
+ Vase fish as large as possible.
+ Keep the water temperature above 21 degrees C.
+ Water used instead nên the same temperature as the old water (to avoid personal shock).
+ Do you eat fish Several times a day, each time for how much and what foods to eat. Change a variety of healthy fish food will do, if only to eat a frozen food (pellet), will be weak or sick fish swim bladder.
- These are the potential Factors có create a strong and agile fish or a fish Sickness and drowsiness.
- After checking the way you take care of fish, hoping to Identify where the disease may Arise and timely adjustments before it happens. Individuals may have a number of diseases, than you need to ask for the next time do not commit.
- Each application of the Different treatments for the same disease. Some work, some do not know the result is a completely incorrect. You may have to close Your Eyes using a Certain drug and cured fish. But in fact, if not check and careful diagnosis before treatment for the individual, it may just happen to get lucky khi needed only properly used drugs. Before you can accumulate enough experience Necessary, simply need to depend on the knowledge of others. That's why I built the cure for Bettas here: it is a research project and share information to help People in the betta health issues.
- In most cases I recommend Furniture Nên never try to treat the cause, not the Symptoms. However, Bettamax (not be confused with Bettafix and the Melafix!) Are Often used as drugs "general treatment" am also resulted in a number of cases. It contains a variety of drugs and vitamins. I do not recommend using the drug tổ like this, but sometimes it is useful for cases of unknown Causes and the case treated early nên Because the fish look unusual but not show specific diseases Symptoms: như loss of color, loss of Appetite, lethargic. In other words, the treatment after nên understanding and more accurate blindly Decision making is just great.
- Antibiotics used properly nên to Prevent the formation of drug-resistant bacteria Due to the use of inadequate doses. Five days is the minimum period of treatment with antibiotics, lasting more than a week, the better.
- If you can not quyết the cause, of the disease, treatment private individual in isolation (and change the water every day) to track time. This does not fish well but definitely not the status of individual Currencies.
- After you have Identified the cause, of the disease to treat cá according to the reference methods and tương ứng fish diseases to find cures properly.
II. A number of the common Betta diseases
1. Aquatic fungus mi
- Overview: This is a common disease and it kills fish Quickly from early detection and treatment is very Important. Which fungal pathogens are always present in the lake. Fish often Do fungal infection after Weakness and loss of resistance Because of some previous illness or injury.
- Diagnosis: Fish often Do have Tufts of white or gray as Director cotton on body, fins or gills. Fungal diseases are often Do confused with foot-and-mouth disease (Columnaris). Note, carefully observed khi place will see the mycelium fungus Growing hair out while foot-and-mouth disease look like local cotton.
- How to treat: Patients isolated individual to treatment, there is no need to treat the entire tank Because fungal pathogens has always existed in the lake ... and only attack weakened fish once a previous questions diseases. You can fish treated with malachite green, salt, high temperature, methylene blue, formalin or hydrogen peroxide (using Applied directly to the stain fungi, nên very careful not to stick to carry drugs Because it can kill fish dead fish). The most Important thing is to quyết the cause, of illness and fishing tackle. Whatever the cause,, Individuals with impaired immune systems create Opportunities for pathogens to attack. This can be caused by dirty water, ammonia concentrations or other Causes Increase Threatened vd personal data.
2. White spot disease (infection bowler)
- Overview: white spot disease, parasites Reside beneath the skin of the fish. They Produce white spots like grains of salt or sand covered the fish's body. Fish can by jerkiness and try scanning into the body in the lake. The disease can be serious, but fortunately it is easy to diagnose and treat. Parasites very Quickly Develop disease detection and timely treatment is extremely Important. Noted Furniture Care must be even if the white spots disappear, the pathogen does not mean Furniture was completely destroyed. We continue to live and grow even leaving fish trong country. That is why we need to raise the temperature of cold water Because if so, it may take weeks to vài the growth cycle of the parasite is completed! Nên continue treatment for at nhất a week to kill parasitic fish pathogens (if cold water to be longer). Parasites on the fish very difficult to eradicate, the drug works only in the larval stage in the growth cycle of the parasite, as Soon As They mature, ngay They will attack the fish.
- How to: stress is the cause, and decreased resistance of pathogen attack and replication on fish. Avoid fish are stressed by other Causes như dirty water, the sudden temperature changes, eating too full ... Quarantine new fish and plants to Ensure you do not bring Furniture Germs from outside the tank. Do not change dramatically lake temperature. Always put new fish into the tank bag for about 15 minutes to balance the two temperature before stocking. Remember Furniture, along with water quality, it is a very common cause, of fish attacked by parasites and pathogens.
- Treatment: Increase the water temperature to shorten the Growing cycle of the parasite. Salt bath is effective removing parasites. Salt water treatment and parasites leave the fish fell into the lake, from khi old fish on the lake, there are no longer parasitic. Chemicals containing copper salt as Coppersafe or Aquarisol am also very effective treatment. There are drugs to cure white spots can be found in the LFS but remember Nên là stronger the individual drugs as stress. Malachite green is not recommended for use for catfish as catfish, striped tit and the other fish Fish như tetras. Treatment of 4 waves, each wave lasting 3-4 days, about 50% water changes before each treatment. Continue treatment for two weeks to Ensure Furniture all parasites are killed off. Remember, only drug effect on larvae of the parasite or about the first 3 days of họ growth cycle.
* Note: in Vietnam, commonly used treatment for white spots is methylene blue. There are many brands in tablets and liquid circulation in the market. Should the rate of medication read instructions carefully before use Because the concentration of each type may vary.

- Symptoms:
- The patient: Quarantine new fish and plants to Ensure you do not bring Furniture Germs from outside the tank. Do not change dramatically lake temperature. Always put new fish into the tank bag for about 15 minutes to balance the two temperature before stocking.
- Treatment: Increase the water temperature to the growth cycle of the parasite takes place faster (about 21 to 26 degrees). Bath salt water with parasites leave the fish. Chemicals containing copper salt as Coppersafe or Aquarisol am also very effective treatment. There are drugs to treat velvet can be found in the LFS but remember Nên là stronger the individual drugs as stress. Malachite green is not recommended for use for catfish as catfish, striped tit and the other Fish như tetra fish (products used for the them is Clear Ich Aquatronics firm).
5. Bloating disease
- Overview: if said đúng, bloating is a Symptom rather than a disease. Bloated Abdomen fish with bulging. There are many Causes of this condition. Sometimes, the disease is not Contagious, but sick fish nên isolated and treated appropriately. Stretch belly full of water and not thể loại. Flake fish stomach blisters look like "results".
- Symptoms:
+ Acute Abdomen: Instant belly swell suddenly. Infected fish cause, internal bleeding.
+ Chronic bloating: ie stomach slowly. Parasites or tumor development in the belly can cause, this condition.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis fish tuberculosis fish. It spread very strong.
+ Other Causes include viral infections, organ damage, kidney failure Due to excessive use of drugs or too strong.
- Treatment: This disease is difficult to treat, but if the cause, is bacterial and is detected early, can be cured. So we need to find out forwarded disease caused by bacteria or not, finding the cause, of the disease as part of treatment and prevention. When the flakes Tend to proven and demonstrated Both seriously ill. Soak fish in salt water can help to Reduce the liquid in the fish. There are a variety of medications used to treat bloating Due to visceral infections. The skin medications do not work in this case.
6. Swelling of the eyes
- Overview: swelling of the eye is not a disease but a Symptom caused by many Different Causes, như infection (and possibly add Both Infected mushrooms), Environmental (như dirty water) Trade wound or swelling in the eye Because other fish bites . Fish may be swelling of one or Both eyes. People to him out of the eye socket and sometimes opaque.
- Treatment: if only one eye is swollen, often Do gây injuries and eye responds by swelling up and herded liquid. Need to isolate the fish and change the water frequently to eyes have time to recover. Can treat with epsom salts ie hydrated MgSO4 salt (want to pay 1/20 liters, after 3 days was down to half a tablespoon). If Both eyes are swollen, and nên lẽ Infected Individuals treated with Maracyn, Tetracycline or Penicillin. Can use antibiotic Neomycin sulfate (250 mg / 4 liter) with a large effect on the gram + and gram-bacteria. Also you can use other antibiotics. But if the fish is too heavy, then it is more difficult to treat. Fish can eat food mixed (Because antibiotics very difficult to penetrate the fish's body). Only use antibiotics in the treatment tank to avoid affecting the filter in the main lake.
7. Red spot disease (Aeromonas salmonicida)
- Overview: The disease caused by the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida with Symptoms Including open wound or pimples on the skin. Hard, just Nosocomial khi term infected in direct contact with the skin. Fish nên isolated and treated with antibiotics. Infectious bacteria into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, especially the vital Organs. Quickly spread very Blood and Blood Vessels small to cause, burst and spread bacteria into the surrounding cells. If conditions are suitable, will trở very Severe.
- How to disease prevention: dirty water grow stronger. Check the cause, of fish stress, pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and intermediate host disease (như fluke).
- Treatment: can be used medicines for skin diseases như hydrogen peroxide or formalin / formaldehyde bath for fish. Antibiotics, especially Those can be Absorbed into the body (tetracycline, erythromycin and Nitrofurazone no effective treatment of this disease). Food mixed with antibiotics.
