HOW TO TREAT A BETTA WITH SWIM BLADDER DISEASE

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

So your betta is showing signs of swim bladder disease. Don't worry. Swim bladder disease is common in bettas and I can show you how to treat swim bladder disease. I will use the pea method in this video. But I have another video where I used an epsom salt bath. You can watch that video by clicking on this link:

    Bettas are carnivores. But a pea will not be dangerous to them. This is a list of foods I feed my Bettas: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKqIm8-mcrC8dqg.html

    Just wanted to mention for those newbies out there that if you place your betta in a small container like this due to swim bladder, it should be heated, or the room should be heated so that the water temp is at least 78 degrees F. I just treated my betta and added a small heater to keep the temp at 80 degrees F.

    @@akaiidoresu3565 it's more of an isolation/medical kind if thing. And this betta shared its space with other fish, which complicated it, I think it was isolated just so the betta wouldn't eat anything/ so he could track its bowel movements. I think it's alright to keep your betta in its tank if you change its water, so you can keep track of the waste production/ keep ammonia levels healthy while it is healing.

    I hope this works for my betta fish. She has belonged to one of my family members and she’s been sitting in a disgusting 6 gallon tank for the last year or 2 with no filter, has only been fed once a day, and never had her water changed before. I decided to step in because it’s an injustice to the poor animal. Her fins are frayed, her bladder is severely bloated, and she has trouble swimming. Just yesterday I put her in a brand new fish tank with a carbon filter, fresh water, and live plants but I noticed that just like in her previous tank, she’s just been in the corners of the fish tank and hasn’t swam to the bottom so that’s when I looked into her problem and saw your video, and now she’s in a small Tupperware set up in the exact way that helped your betta fish:) I’ll update you in a couple days, thank you for this video🙏🏽❤️

    Friday Fish Facts So, it’s been a week. I’ve been feeding her tiny portions of peas. Sometimes she eats them, but other times she doesn’t. I’ve even tried lowering the water volume so that she won’t have to fight to actually swim to the peas if they sank to the bottom. Furthermore, I’ve hand fed her a couple times, but she’d only bite the pea and consume a very tiny portion of it. Good news, though; Another one of her initial problems was that her fins were terribly frayed, so it’s good to know that the BettaFix has been working because her fins look 10x better and have grown significantly. Just now, I moved her back into the larger aquarium so that I could observe her activities better. She still hangs out at the top of the tank because she still floats a bit and has trouble swimming downwards. The bloated section of her bladder/stomach has majorly decreased, though. I figure that maybe if she feels the warmth of her tank with fresh plants and clean water that perhaps, she’ll heal up better. I’ll leave her in there for maybe a short time and if I see no signs of progress, I’ll move her back into her smaller incubator and continue with her pea-treatment. I’ve read online that some cases of Swim Bladder Disease may not be curable in some fish because the damage had already been done. This is a very tough situation that I’m in. I wish that this little fish was treated better and that I would’ve caught the situation much earlier on; but at this point, I’m just going to try to give her the best chance at happiness possible, even if it means euthanasia. That’s my complete last resort though, I won’t give up on her:) Thank you for your support, I’ll update you soon.

    I just got a new betta on Sunday he looked fine in the cup, I noticed on sunday night he has fungus on him I treated his water with gill, fungus and parasite solution, and yesterday night I noticed he keeps on swimming a tiny but and stops where ever he is at and sinks to the bottom, this morning I noticed he is laying on his side not fully but leaning, and breathing heavily, does he have swim bladder as well as fungus, and he in not eating only ate on Sunday and nothing more, unless he ate the neon tetras food, it's my first time owning a betta I have never experienced swim bladder or fungus before, so I'm quite stressed about him.

    My Betta just sets by the heater and behind the filter. He won't eat he won't move when I put my finger on the tank where he's setting. He was fine until I had cleaned the tank... Then put him back in the tank, it hadn't warmed completely but was 72°.. so he started this almost as soon as I returned him to the tank. I feed him Betta bio-Gold mini pellet. What's wrong with him?

    Relatively new betta care giver here. Question - in hindsight, would you feed the betta the pea sooner? Add a heater to keep the bowl at least 80 degree F? other? Thanks for the video. I have one betta in a planted 10 gallon and hoping I never have to deal with any illnesses, so have been educating myself from you kind aquarists on YT. Will check out your epsom salt vid as well. I have heard it from experienced fish keepers that a betta's stomach is not the size of their eye ball. I searched for an image of a betta online and it looks like their stomach is larger than their eye, but I can't really tell.

    You can try it. Bettas aren't "in love" with peas, so not feeding them for a few days will increase your chances of getting them to eat. If you have tankmates in with your betta, you'll want to remove the betta so he/she doesn't eat the other food. Thanks for watching!

    My betta fish, Link, has a bloated stomach and he doesnt want to move alot, he keeps staying near the filter. I think he has swim bladder disease, but I want to make sure before I start treating it. My betta lives in a big tank alone and I wanted to try the 3 day fasting and Epsom salt. I don't have a heater to change the temperature because I live in a very hot place so I can't change the temperature to 80°F. My questions are: 1. Should I move him even though he lives alone? 2. Should I even do the Epsom salt or just try the peas and fasting?

He was at hanging out at the top, but this morning I found him at the bottom. He’s vertical with his face down. Now I’m desperately googling how to save him… can I save him? Is it too late? If so, how do I make him comfortable?

    Is it okay if I place him in the main tank itself? The weather is below 22 degrees (celsius) and my main tank (15 gallons) has a heater set to 27. He doesn't have much of a problem going to the surface for air. I am sure he is bloated as he is tilted sideways and has a slightly bloated stomach.

    My betta hasn’t pooped at all and it’s been over three days. At three days I tried the pea thing and he didn’t eat at all. Then I got freaked that he might starve after the fourth day and he didn’t eat the pea again so I gave pellets and he didn’t eat that either. I’ve only seen him interested once while trying to feed him and he couldn’t catch up with the pea and gave up right away. I’ve given an Epsom salt bath once and am keeping him in a shallow hospital tank because he floats. I have some things for him to hide in in it too.

  • @tonyfffuuu

    So is there a minimum of three days before feeding anything besides the pea? My boys been very hidden lately doesn't seem to be swimming around much... When he does eat he aggressively grabs it from the surface and usually goes back into hiding right after fins have started to become transparent my back gave out on me so it was hard to do anything but lay in bed for a few weeks so maybe it might be water conditions? Did a complete change last night what do you suggest?

    I finally realized what was going on with my Betta after two days and came across your video just now. Immediately started preparing a container as quickly as I could to put her in and suddenly watched her die on the spot. She was trying to swim up to the top for one final breath, sunk to the bottom, spit out some food and stopped moving. Ugh I feel awful. I could’ve saved her or at least made her final hours/days better with this method. My other betta tried lifting her up and keeping her going but it was too late. I suck. Now am sad 😭

    I read that you should always soak the pellets in a few drops of tank water before you feed them because pellets are to hard and cause constipation. Also I would only do 2 pellets in morning and 2 at night.

    Hey there! I have a question for you. I hope someone can shed some light. So my betta has SBD. Same as seen here. He’s on the top and has trouble swimming down, swims sightless on his side. I think it’s due to over feeding but he doesn’t appear swollen. This is his 2nd day of not being fed. He’s the only one in his tank and the water parameters are perfect so I’ve been leaving him in his tank. I gave him a Epsom salt 15 minute bath yesterday and today before returning him to his tank. He pooped both times in his bath and when I put back he seems to swim normally and look much better for about an hour and a half, then the SBd symptoms seem to reappear? Any suggestions? I’m going to start the pea ideas after day 3 of fasting him. Someone please help if you have advice. Love this guy and just want to see him get and STAY better. Thanks!

    Hi! I need help! I hope someone can answer this. So, I discovered this past Monday that my firey little guy has popeye. I immediately rushed to the pet store and bought API's Melafix. I came back and did a 100% water change. After a couple days of treatment, the swelling in his eye has gone down and the fungus seems to have lessened. But NOW he's swimming a little sideways. He can still get down deep (3.5-gallon tank) and is still quite mobile, but his tail end is trying to go sideways. I don't know what to do, he's my buddy and I'm scared to lose him. This is the only thing I can think of that would be causing this? Although he's swimming around, he's also spending more time floating.
