Emergency First Aid For A Sick Betta Fish

Posted by Marcus Song on September 24th, 2006 — Posted in Betta Health

Although you can’t perform mouth-to-mouth on a sick or injured fish, there are some simple first aid techniques you should be aware of.

1. Remove any fish that is exhibiting signs of illness or disease from the general fish population.

2. Test the water for ammonia, nitrites, pH, and oxygen levels. The ammonia and nitrites should be 0; pH should be between 6.8 and 7.0. Dissolved oxygen levels should be above 60%.

Betta Lover’s Tip: An easy way to reduce nitrites and ammonia, a big cause of betta illnesses, in your water is to put in a piece of Java Moss.

3. Remove any dead fish at once. Refrigerate in a baggie until you can get it to a vet or lab for examination.

4. Perform a 50% water change using aged and treated water.

5. Remove live plants and conduct a salt treatment.
