A couple of days ago my betta fish(fighter fish) has gotten a bubble over his right eye.?

Question

Does any one kno wat it came from & how can i get rid of it

Answer 1

If it's a clear looking bubble, like it's filled with fluid, you are seeing a bacteria infection that could spread to other fish if it ruptures. I would suggest you treat with a good antibiotic such as Maracyn or Maracyn TC for this. Just follow the directions on the package and it should clear up in a few days.

Answer 2

If you always keep your betta’s water very clean, he is not very likely to get Popeye. Popeye is a bacterial infection usually caused by poor water condition but popeye can also be the tip of the iceberg, the external sign that something inside Mr. Betta is going very wrong. For example, tuberculosis will sometimes result in popeye. In that case, the popeye may not be curable or even if it gets better the fish will die (because tuberculosis is not curable and always kills its host). In short the fish will have died, not of the popeye itself, but because of the more serious disease that triggered it.

uSYMPTOMS:
One or both of Mr. Betta’s eyes start bulging out. In about 2 to 7 days the eye might look so grotesque you will be afraid to look at your betta. Casimodo on a bad day will look more attractive then your betta at that point!! Please do not destroy your betta! In many cases, the bettas make a full recovery from it and look normal again, as if nothing had happened. Only some of the popeye cases are caused by the terminal diseases mentioned above and will result in your betta dying. The rest will heal nicely if caught early and treated aggressively (see below). During outbreak, betta may be less active, may stop eating.

uTREATMENT:
As I said, popeye is usually not fatal and Mr. Betta will often fully recover. On occasion he may lose an eye. But if you catch it right away, he should be fine. Immediately do a full water change. Keep his water very clean, changing it every third day. After putting him in clean water, add the antibiotic Ampicillin to his water. It has become difficult to find on the market and can be costly, but if you can find a 12 capsule quantity, it will be well worth the $10 to $12 investment. This medication usually comes in capsules. A full capsule usually treats 10 gal of water. So for a 1/2 gallon of water, open the capsule and take the right proportion of powder and sprinkle on jar water. You may steer gently with a disposable plastic spoon. This is a white powder and will not affect the color of the water. Do not overmedicate! Once Betta’s eyes are back to normal, keep treating for one more week (just to be sure) and then stop the medication.

Answer 3

my betta did that once and you need to change it's water it had chemicals in the water and got to it's eye and it has chemicals in its eyes so change the water daily and also put chlor-out or whatever chlorine you put in the water to keep it clean.
