Take it to a fish opthamologist. No, put another beta in there-or use a mirror, and if the "blind" one faces it, it's not blind -Moca LOLOLOL

Move some of the obstacles around in his tank. If he runs into them he's most likely blind. I know that some fish go blind when you put black lights on the tank. So if you've been doing that you've got a pretty good chance of a fish with an eye problem.

Put a mirror up to the tank in front of him if he does nothing then he is blind.Beta fish are fighting fish and if he and I guess it is a he see another Beta this one being himself in the mirror he will try to fight it.Only the males are bright and beautiful the females are not.

It's a fish!!!! Who cares. Just get another one and put it in there with it. You'll know soon enough and you'll still have a beta fish.

Many scientists have self belief that fish can smell better suited than they could see. at the same time as i became a touch i had a chum whose fish had no eyes (using an attack) and it appeared to carry on like quite a few different fish. once foodstuff touched the floor of the water it swam as a lot as feed.--your fish probable has only lost his urge for foodstuff. i have heard of bettas going 2 weeks devoid of foodstuff. A)verify the temperature contained in the tank (at the same time as it receives warmth my betta regularly looses his urge for foodstuff) b)attempt feeding him diverse such issues as bloodworms,and fineley chopped spinach. it is also conceivable that your fishy is depressed, regularly using loneliness.(i recognize it sounds extraordinary, in spite of the indisputable fact that it really is authentic) With the perfect tank you could placed him in with anyfish it truly is A)no longer aggressive,b)of an same kin (Osphronemidae) or C) has "fancy finnage",because even bettas get wondered!

No idea, but I can tell you that every betta I've had has been very near-sighted, allowing me to house more then one or males and females in the same tank. They rarely saw each other and when one started chasing the other it will quickly lose sight of it.

does it run into things?
remember, fish have eyes on the side of their heads so they're not great at depth perception / seeing in front of them

if you hold up a mirror to him and he does nothing, he's probably blind. They usually get all fluffy and turn a brighter color, and bite at their reflection.
