hello betta lovers, if your betta suffer from pop eye then this video is right for you
there are three steps to cure betta from popeye's disease
this method is very simple and you can try it at home
okay first of all we have to prepare new filtered water
then salt and two tablespoons of salt for small cup
after that we stir
okay betta lovers this is the condition of the betta when gets popeye
We can see the condition of the eyes, this betta has swollen left eye
you can see that the right and left eyeballs are not symmetrical
Honestly I was shocked and sad when I saw the condition of this betta
and today I want to try to cure this betta, this is a pop eye healing experiment
you can use this method if you have a betta that suffer from popeye
I cant guarantee this method is 100% effective but for me this is a good alternative method to treat popeye
and okay now let's put the betta in the salt water. Remember don't soak betta in salt water too long
because it can cause the death of betta fish, so soak the betta in salt water for a few seconds
and the next step is fasting your betta. The purpose of fasting is to slow down the metabolism of betta
and stop nutrition for betta so that swelling of the eyes can be slow or stop
Usually when betta suffer from popeye and eat a lot the betta eye will be more swollen
therefore, I think fasting is the best choice for beta when suffering from popeye
Not only that the fasting method can also be applied when betta suffer from dropsy
On the first day I really don't feed this betta and I think today I don't see a significant change
The eye on this fish are still not symmetrical but I will continue to monitor the progress
hopefully the next day there will be a good progress
okay this is the condition of the betta on the second day
This is the second day of this betta fasting.
Today I see a very significant change, the swelling in the left eye looks smaller than yesterday even so the beta eyes are still not symmetrical
but I hope the next day the better recovery will be better
and it's important for us to know. I will feed this betta if the betta eye start to shrink
and for the betta feed I only feed very small amount of live food, we can use adult artemia or mosquito larva
and okay, this is third day and hopefully there will be a very significant progress
By the way to treat betta that suffer from pop eyes we have to change the water every day
In my opinion, the condition of the betta eyes has shown very good progress, although today I think this betta's eyes are still not perfectly symmetrical.
but we compare to the first day today this betta is in very good condition
Now the fourth day, we can see that the betta eyes are getting better
The left eye of this betta is getting smaller and back to the normal. I'm really very happy
This is a remarkable thing for me and I'm very optimistic betta will recover from pop eye
and please note that I only use salt and metyhylene blue in the pop eye healing process
and this is fifth day now the betta eye condition is perfect honestly I'm very happy to see this
This is one of my favorite betta and because the condition has improved
So today this betta is not fasting and I give a little live feeds that is adult artemia
okay betta lovers today is day 6, and today this betta is perfect. This betta eyes are symmetrical
by the way In my opinion popeye is a disease caused by a parasitic infection
Very poor water condition can cause popeye, therefore to avoid betta suffering from popeye we have to always maintain water quality
Okay betta lovers this is seven day
and today I want to say that this betta has completely recovered from popeye
beside that I want to explain why this betta can recover from popeye, first is this betta is a young betta. This about 3 months old
So the healing process is faster and we need to know that I don't recommend this method for old betta
because soaking old betta in salt water is very risky
old betta are weak endurance. Salt water can prevent parasite and fungle
but in high concentration salt water is very dangerous for old betta
The use of salt water for the treatment of betta should be done with carefully
