Diseases and treatment of your betta fish

The main reason of the diseases of Betta fish is internal pressure. The pressure can be a result of several different things. The most widespread disease is infection. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: "Maracyn 2" by Mardel is suggested. Maracyn-2 is a all-purpose antibiotic tablet which is utilized for popeye, fin and tail rot, gill ailment, dropsy, septicemia, secondary and inner infections. It is essential that the treatment be absorbed within the Betta fish to cure the infection. Regular water changes twice a week, in addition to higher temperatures may also aid the Betta fight off the infection himself. 

Fungal infection

Fungal infections generally happen because of bad water conditions. They become visible as white fluffy growths on the Betta fish's mouth, eyes, and fins and are highly infectious. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: Increase the temperature of the Betta fish tank. Fungal infections are time and again an outcome of cooler water temperatures. Medicines including Malachite green or Methylene blue are also useful. Malachite green is a totally harmless and helpful cure in fresh and salt water on a wide variety of protozoan, crustacean, and other invertebrate parasites of fishes. Adding ordinary table salt (sodium chloride) to the water, one teaspoon per gallon can lend a hand in minimizing the healing time.

Ichthyophthirius multifilius (Ich)

 Ich is a protozoan parasite found on the majority of the freshwater fish. It emerges as small white dots or stains on the Betta fish's fins and body, which may seem to be like white grains of sugar. Eruptions mostly happen when the water temperature drops less than 80 degrees F. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: Raise the water temperature to the mid to higher 80s degree F. Salt baths are very helpful against Ich. Adding common table salt (sodium chloride) to the water can lend a hand in reducing disease. Add one teaspoon per gallon as a pre-emptive measure. Medicines containing Malachite green or Methylene blue, continued at a time gap of 2 days are also helpful. 

Velvet/Oodinium

It is an algae parasite found on several freshwater fish. This ailment emerges as a yellow "velvety" covering on the Betta fish's body. It may also become visible as golden or rust colored. It is habitually found in fish which are anxious due to chilling, shipping, water changes or bad water quality. Symptoms comprises of fast breathing and lethargy. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: Raised temperature and medicines like acriflavine, Methylene Blue or Jungle's "velvet guard" should help cure this parasite. Bowls or tanks should be drained and unsoiled. Dyes must not be used as they have mercury. 

Fin Rot
Fin Rot is a bacterial disease and often happens to weaker Betta fishes. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: Application of antibiotics, anti-microbials, and measures containing these is the perfect cure of this disease. One such anthology is Mardel Maracyn 2. Maracyn-2 is an all-purpose antibiotic tablet used for popeye, fin and tail rot, gill ailment, dropsy, septicemia, secondary and inner infections. Changing the water, increasing the temperature and adding a small amount of salt will often attain excellent results. 

Dropsy
It is caused by an inner, bacterial contagion. It mostly shows itself as stuffed sides and overhanging scales on the Betta fish. Again, the most possible reason is bad water conditions. 

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: The application of Mardel's Tetracycline is suggested. Tetracycline is an all purpose antibiotic for ailing fin and tail rot, popeye, gill ailment and dropsy. It is mainly useful against gram-negative pathogenic organisms. 

Black Spot
It demonstrates small, black scraps on the body of the Betta fish. It is time and again found in fish that are harassed due to shipping.

Betta Fish Care and Treatment: Adding common table salt (sodium chloride) to the water can lend a hand in minimizing the healing time. Adding one teaspoon per gallon is suggested. 

Common Beta Fish Treatments

* Copper Sulfate is helpful as an antiseptic for equipment, tanks and bowls.
* Formalin is helpful against Ich and parasites.
* Malachite Green is generally used to cure protozoan infections.

Betta fish are flexible but do not bear thermal swings splendidly. Bettas are tropical fish and must be placed in tropical temperatures. Betta fish need habitual, twice-weekly water changes in gallon water containers, a combination of foods (not just dry pellets), and your communication to remain healthy.

Most of the ailments or illnesses with tropical freshwater fish can be credited to their surrounding atmosphere.

Nearly always a rapid water change, the adding up of a bit of salt (unionized sea salt is the most excellent, about a level teaspoon per five gallons equivalent) will resolve anything which is ailing them.

Double tail betta fish

We all have the concept of how a beautiful betta but the purpose of this article is to introduce standards mark of IBC . Remember that with a superficial ideal fish, whether single or dual tail tail, three unpaired fins will make a seamless way without gaps. The width of the dorsal fin in large often double than single fin. Double dorsal fin, ideally, is the symmetric image of the anal fin.

 

Bettas usually double the width of the body (the distance from the back to the stomach) is larger than the single fin. Body thickness is also acceptable as long as it supports for supporting the enormous fins.

The number of caudal fin rays in upper lobe and right lower lobe equivalent and distributed evenly across the center line. Width to length ratio. Lobes on the right lower lobe of equivalent size and symmetry through the center. Two lobes of the tail can be stacked up but must be separated until the base of the tail.

• General shape of both lobes of the tail is ideal semicircle.
• Dual fish tail fin many differences for the application:
• There are two tail lobes instead of one, they are completely separate to the base of the tail.
• Broader base of the tail to lift two lobes of the tail.
• Large dorsal fin, equivalent to the size of the anal fin.
• There is a wide body and short.
• Curvature at the base of the tail vary depending on each individual DT. Observed from above will see this more clearly. 
• The tail is curved too much error in the dual fin, if not too curved, can be ignored.

The final score is based on the greater or lesser degree of fault.

• Error in body
• Too short and fat body (slight fault)
• Convex or peduncle very curved (fault)

Error in the dorsal

• Dorsal fin slightly narrower anal (minor fault)
• Dorsal fin with few rays short at the front, not like anal (minor fault)
• The dorsal fin is too narrow for anal (fault)

Error in the tail

• Tail lobe to but not completely split - split over three-quarters (slight fault)
• Tail lobes somewhat irregular (fault)
• Tail lobes separated from ½ to ¾ (fault)
• Tail lobe irregular in size or shape (fault)
• Tail lobes are small but (fault)
• Caudal lobe about half or less of separation (fault)
• Small and irregular tail lobe (fatal error)

Although the appearance of of halfmoon completely overwhelms double tail fish, but in my opinion, the double fish tail puppy and balance with stacked fins when flaring looks great!
