  • Discussion Fanatics

    Ick, also known as Ich or white spot, is an external parasite that latches onto the body of a betta, causing irritation, itchiness and malaise. The parasite stays on the fish for up to 4 or 5 days before it drops off, reproduces, and then latches back onto the fish.

    Similarly, how do you know when a betta fish is going to die?

    1. Lethargy. Lethargy is normally the first sign that something is wrong with your betta.
    2. Fading Color. If your betta is suddenly losing color, this is more concerning than your fish just being lethargic.
    3. Hunched Back.
    4. Dropsy.
    5. Laying Down.
    6. Frequent Breathing.
    7. Decreased Appetite.
    8. Slow Reactions.

    Similarly, it is asked, what causes white spots on betta fish?

    Most of the parasitic diseases encountered in aquarium fish are protozoan parasites, especially those that cause white spot disease. White spot disease is a very common problem in freshwater aquarium fish. The disease is caused by the ciliate protozoan Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly called ich or ick.

    Will aquarium salt get rid of ICH?

    Use aquarium salt to treat ich in freshwater aquariums. Dissolve 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon (4 L) of water in a small amount of tank water separately and then add the mixture to the tank. Leave the salt in the freshwater aquarium for 10 days. Combine salt with heat to further effectively kill off ich.
