Betta Fish Sick!!! | Ich / Whitespot & How To Cure

- So my new betta fish Captain Redbeard has got sick. It could be the stress of being moved to a new aquarium...it could have been on some of the plants, it could have been that he was sick when i got him. Who knows. But he had ich (whitespot).
This relieved me as i knew i could treat it fast. So if your fish is suffering from ich, treat it fast and your fish will be ok :)
Thank you for this video! I just took a Betta home from the pet shop and he’s developed white spot, likely from the poor condition he was surviving in. I just started treatment, so we’ll see. Your fish is/was beautiful. I hope he’s still going strong. I had one betta for over 4 years! Cheers from California, USA.

Thank you so much! This really helped cure my fish! Thank you so much I love this. It’s so helpful!!!!❤️
To clarify for those wondering: ich medicine (usually malachite green is the active ingredient in most) is only effective at killing the parasite in the free swimming stage. While it is inside of its cyst (or basically egg) or borrowed in the fish's skin, it is immune to any treatment. It is also sensitive to water temps. The higher the temp, the faster its life cycle and reproduction. That's why they tell you to raise the water temp to 86 (or as high as the fish can tolerate) to get the parasite to detach from the fish and reproduce faster, thus killing it quicker.
Why don't they say th is on the bottle!😭😭😭 I've been treating mine for a week and it looked like he was getting better, but now he has a giant white spot and now I know why
What to by raise the temp u mean mke it colder??? But i read it the other way
@@gerigame2995no make it warmer because this speeds up the life cycle of the parasite which makes kills it faster
So happy he is well now :) great job on the video thank you
No problem :)
I'm here. TH-cam traffic was a pain!!! Also highly informative!!! Thanks!
I will let you off this time Haha ;)
Thank you very much for the useful information! My betta Angel is half a year old now, and knowing this is definitely gonna keep him around longer.
Captain clearly appreciated it :) 🐠
Yeah I think so :)
My betta has a lot of white spots but he is still eating all of his food and swimming around like he usually does. I also have a heater and a filter.
My veiltail betta had ich recently but thankfully he's ok now, no white spots anymore. I treated him with malachite green. I'm lucky he's energetic and has appetite even though he had ich. I think the ich came from the moss ball I recently bought so I removed it.
Good video . I am curious , what ice treatment were you using and did the medicine come with the syringe ?
my beta just went from a 5 gallon tank to a small container bc hes sick and wont swim up to the surface 😞 I love my fish so much 😢 i even trained him. Ive been giving him a salt bath every 3 days bc hes so sick . I even tried to give him a pea and so now idk what to do .
Hi... this video is very informative...thank you! But how will I know for sure if my fish has ich? :(
Thanks so much for this, v glad to know what to look out for.
How did you get the water in from pipe? From tap?
Do you know the medicine you using is it safe for snails and shrimps?
Thank you for this video!! 🙏
Your Betta is probably going to be just fine. You might have picked up some from some plants that's what happened to me
should i water change every single day and put a dose of the treatment medicine each day..?
What a beauty.❤
nice inform bro, keep going
Cheers mate :)
You sub my channel d?😁😁
My betta has white scales like s platinum and i cannot tell if it is ivh or not
same after 1st treatment i could tell my eba were in a better mood
What are u using to empty and fill the tank? That hose pump?
Im kinda concern I have a betta ,same as yours,right now is acting weird he eats, not as much as before but he always lays on top of the water on a leaf half of his body sticking out of the water,couple days ago I see a little white spots but then just went off,today I saw that white spots again but is like just dust it doesn’t see like the ich but last night way the first dose oh medicine you think white spots is what he has?
when ya put the medication into the tank, was it concurrent with your bio filter? read somewhere that this blue stuff would kill the beneficial bacteria.
The bad bacteria will also be in your filter so you have to treat everything.
Thank you god bless you my betta is also like that with white spot😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Is he okay now?
update pls
My betta has one little white spot at the end of her tail and since it's just a little one i don't know if its ich
My fish is getting white scales is that ich?
Will it still work if my fish is covered in ich
My betta is really unhealthy and she has Fungus, she’s skinny, faded color, fins getting ripped whenever she darts away. But she acts normal and eats every time, plays, swims actively. I don’t really know what’s wrong or how to fix it. I added medication but it came back :/
I bought my betta and he was acting all shy then I noticed some white forming on him they definitely didn’t change the water I’m going to buy another fish and the medicine cuz I fed super bad like I didn’t mean for him to get sick!!
my treatment says to remove carbon filter but doesn't specify for how long. it's so confusing.
I watched another video saying you can use rock salt to cure ich on your betta fish is this true?
New vid! I was wondering why there are no comments
Haha, not the most exciting video for people that are looking for new builds but i felt it was a good idea to document when things arnt going perfect and give advice for others that might have the same problem.
What is the name of the solution
I’m currently treating my betta that has ich with malachite Green and bettafix
totally irrelevant to the video but what sponge is that you use to clean with haha
It was just something I got in a cleaning pack.
My betta got ick he continuously scratched himself then he got two wound and a white string protrudes from both wound is it's normal or he is serious.he is not eating well but still active
Help me
I think you're talking about Ick yeah methane blue to get rid of that. If I remember correctly I think I had to keep treating my fish for 2 weeks
How many times do you do water change? I've been treating my betta for almost 2 weeks now and he's active but there are still ich on his scales.
@@sebby2378 well I live in Taiwan so they told me to keep the beta and methane blue for 7 days. After the seven days you change the half of the dosage.
Truly they should have fallen off by now.. I wonder what you're using
How can i show you my betta fish, i assume that he’s sick?
My betta still does still eat ,. but, only stays in the corner or bottom of tank. but he does have a white spot on his tail. His does not move much. He stay in just one location and sometimes lean on side and he corrects himself to get balances. I thought it was a swimming bladder disease. I been doing Epom salt bath on him for the past two days now. but, I . Don't see him getting any better :( it said it could also help with ich. But I don't know if it's working. White Spot until there. I'm going to until until end of this week since I started the bath salt on Monday.
But, if I don't see any improvement with the salt bath. I'm going to try this treatment. Where do I buy these medication?
how is your Betta doing? Mine is showing similar symptoms. he is barely moving now. I have been using Betta fix and now I added aquarium salt. Any suggestions?
@@yaronronniesolomon7424 Hi there, mines is still the same. He's only active to feeding time that's all.
I was told not to use betta fix because it kills them Because of the tea tree oils in it. . It plugs their gills. So..How is yours doing?
I went with Pimafix because it didn't CONTAIN tea tree oil.. he got a little better the white started to fate but still there even after I did the seven day treatment. But I'm think of going to with Methylene blue. I found a local store that carries it. Only problem not sure how much to put in 5 .5 gallon tank. It only gives instructions to bath treatment.
hi can you link to the medicine you used?
Anti white spot
It's interpret anti white spot
What is your betta fish name
My fish does not want to eat. I don't know what to do with him. He has a gray coat on his back, and he's always resting on his leave hammock. I hardly ever see him moving. I am worried for him.
Same problem :(
Mine is still eating and I'm trying to feed him quality foods and keep his immunity up.
Good job
@@MDFishTanks thank you.
Name of medicine
Mythenile blue
my betta got white spots after i added some tankmates.should i separate him? or should i treat the whole tank with medicine? the new fish i bought has no white spots.
Whole tank as the tank will have it
how comes hes got a white patch under the chin?
Im so sorry
My fish just died from this 2 weeks after bringing him home
i just got mine a few days ago. he was completely fine until introduced tetras into my tank..he now has ich and my algae eaters died…damned tetras
What did u use
If u can tell me what brand of medication ur using would help
for me, it white spots are a lot bigger and there are more of them. what does it mean
Drago from Bakugan it’s ok just treat the fish
U don’t have much time
I love it. #MD
Mine has one white dot in the belly but it dosent look like ich i dont know what it is..
Its prolly a female fish. They usually have an ovipositor on the belly. Looks like a dot of salt
@@sweetfridaydreaming but it's a male betta :(
Cloud Strife hmm, weird. If youre 1000% sure well then Im stumped. Maybe its a string of poop about to come out?
@@sweetfridaydreaming yeah maby it's that or a bubble or something under it haha so glad it doesn't have ick 😭
Where you GET THE MEDICINE
If you found out please tell me
reduce the flow bettas hate strong flow !! and the size of the tank !! please provide enough space for betta to swim !!!
True, they can't stand strong flow but the tank is absolutely beautiful and big enough for one betta.
I have four bettas in 3 different tanks. One is a 10g with a divider. The other two are 5g. All mine seem to love water flow/currents. They swim back and forth under their water filters and seem to enjoy themselves being pushed down slightly by the current.
You can open a tank shop
Maybe one day :)
@@MDFishTanks ok and good luck in the future
@@haithem9309 cheers
My dearest betta died from this white spot 😭
the flow of the tank maybe stressing him
Hey guys I just posted a video on fish death. feel free to check it out on my TH-cam because I'm feeling pretty pissed off right about now.
I really think that whether you're living in Taiwan or America that they don't take care of the beta's properly before they sell them.
take a listen to my video feel free to write some thoughts and opinions because I really feel down.
If you watch my video you'll understand why
Man.. i hope this is just a hospital tank and I hope you don’t keep him in this tiny place all the time. It’s an annoying misconception that they like small spaces. They love swimming me they love huge spaces
Sarah Madeline 2.6 gallons? That’s 10 litres? My betta is in 10 gallons and I think it’s just the smallest space I can keep him in.
Thank u for yor help
