Default Guide to Betta Disease

Hi

I have been very keen on treating betta disease since i started off betta and the ability to treat them from any disease was my primary aim. Till now still is.

Since spawning and having so many fries, in the recent months the only death of betta has been due to
DROPSY- fish will not eat for some time and white shit comes out and then scales pop. (experiment in progress, hope to get lucky soon)
Gill problem together with weird growth on head and gills

Any other form of disease can be cured if spotted promptly and using the right medication.

Having tested more than 20 medications, i come up with a list of main med a good betta keeper should have:

Yellow powder (external and internal problem)
Methylene blue (external problems)
Anti internal bacteria (ocean free one is good, herbal and normal
ones)
Epsom salt from pharmacy (not eno)
Aquarium salt
Anti velvet (interpet)
ketapang leaves

Put these in medicine box will protect your fish for 90% of disease
provided you spot disease.

if you want to reward your betta, get the vitamins for fish....just
got ocean free one for my fish, to pay them back coz sell fish earn
money must give back to fish.
