Betta what is swim bladder disease?

Question

all the sites say it comes from feeding bbs but none of them say how the fish acts does it turn upside down then die how do they act

Answer 1

Swim bladder is the indirect result of poor water conditions and/or malnutrition. So, swim bladder isn't a specific disease, it's a symptom of other problems in the tank.

Anyway, the swim bladder is the part of his body that the fish uses to control how deep or shallow he wants to be in the water. When he has trouble or cannot regulate this, he has swim bladder disease. So, he will floating around, be sideways/crooked/upside down, and generally look like he's not swimming very well or look like he can't swim back down or back up if he wants to.

There are many possible causes>
A virus. The virus attacks the epithelium of the swim bladder and inflammation occurs which makes the epithelium too thick for gases to diffuse across. Thus the fish is stuck at a certain buoyancy because gases have nowhere to go.
A bacterium. Bacterial infections can cause the same kind of thickening of the swim bladder epithelium as viruses.
Diet. Feeding dry foods which tend to take on water like a sponge and expand in the fish predispose to food impactions such as bettas and goldies.

If the swim bladder disease isn't caused by a virus, then correct the water quality issue. Make sure your betta has at LEAST 2 gallons of warm, clean water (79F with proper filtration) - 5 gallons is better. Do weekly water chnages of 30% if you have a filter, or daily 50% changes (use a turkey baster) if you do not have a filter.

Feed him a few pieces of de-shelled pea to help, as he may be suffering from impaction, and don't feed him for a couple days after that... In the future, keep water clean, pre-soak his pellets and give him a small piece of a pea once in a while.

Answer 2

I had a betta who I thought had swin bladder, and he lived for quite a bit..
He'd kinda lay on his side, which at first concerned me as far as eating, but he managed to right himself briefly and ate his food.
But, at this site called BETTA R US youll find that there has been a betta disease that some are mistaking for swim bladder, maybe youre betta has that. Last time I had looked there was no name for it as of yet.
But, like I mentioned, mine had a similar problem and lived for quite a bit, so dont stress too much.
Do check out that site though.

Answer 3

attempt upping the temp to approximately 80-80 two levels and upload some aquarium salt, the two wil help to alleviate tension and combat off any infections. There are some meds accessible that could help, no longer many nonetheless. The pea is surely the terrific element, yet you could no longer make him consume :( I advise no longer feeding him the rest and shop offering th peas nonetheless, alongside with the better temp and salt. terrific of success!
