Oke number one is swim bladder disorder I'm sure you've heard of this disease
Btw swim bladder is an organ in fish, in the form of a membrane filled with a mixture of
gases with varying pressure
The function of swim bladder is to control buoyancy, but the problem is when the swim bladder doesn't work perfectly
Swim bladder disorder suffered by small betta fish and some others adult betta fish
In small betta fish usually caused by overfeeding and low temperature
And in adult betta usually caused by low temperature, old age, and starving
Number two is Fin Rot
Fin rot is the damage caused by bacterial infection, usually occurs on the anal, caudal, dorsal and pectoral fins
This disease often occurs on long tail betta fish, like halfmoon, veiltail, crowntail, and halfmoon plakat
When the water quality is poor
The potential for growth of bacteria and parasites will be very high.
Moreover if the water for betta fish doest use catappa leaves
First aid when the betta fish have a fin rot is water change and put a little salt in water
Old fish are usually very vulnerable to fin rot. therefore we must always maintain water quality

Tumor on betta fish is unusual case, but in some cases often occur on adult betta
Tumor usually occur on thick scaly fish, like fancy, dragon, and old bettas
Specifically it is still unknown what causes tumors on betta fish
but the question is whether this disease is dangerous ?
The answer can be yes or no. If the tumor grows near the eyes of betta it will be dangerous
But if the tumor grows on body maybe it won't be dangerous for the short term, it's just reducing the beauty of betta fish
Btw some betta lovers removal tumor by minor surgery. by cut the tumor that stick to the body of the betta fish
But the problem is the tumor can still grow back

Fungal infection are the condition when the fungal stick to the limbs of betta fish
Usually the fungal that stick to the betta is white like cotton
The Betta Fish that infected by fungal will be difficult to open the fins

Therefore, to avoid fungal infections, we must always maintain water quality

It can be predicted that the fish will likely die
Usually these disease attack betta fry or the fish are not change water for a long time
Number six Popeye
Popeye is very worrying disease
if it’s overcome too late then it can cause permanent blindness
The symptoms begin with cloudy eye
But it should be known that not all betta fish that have cloudy eye must be suffer by pop eye
There are two symptoms that we need to know, When the betta fish's eye are cloudy and swollen
it can be ascertained that the fish is suffered by pop eye
The bad news is we haven't found the best medicine to cure this disease.
But for first aid Usually I immediately change water
Number seven dropsy
Dropsy are a disease that occurs when there is a disturbance in the stomach of the fish
Usually dropsy fish cannot poop
The stomach enlarged until his scales opened like pineapple
This disease is really dangerous
I personally have never managed to cure this disease
Usually this disease is caused by dirty food or bacterial infection
Thus making fish digestion can not work properly.
