My betta fish Kai is my baby used to be so happy and active but he's come down with a disease called Popeye and a parasite called ich. This could cause him to go blind in one of his eyes.

Please guys whilst I'm treating this send him your best and pray or wish him well....I really need the support right now I'm so upset with myself.

Thanks it means a lot. Did a little more digging. It's definietly popeye but his ich turned out to be mineral deposits.

OH NOES :(

I had a beta once, he was red and his name was Leviathon. My older brother gave him to me for my birthday one year. He only lived for a couple of months though. :/ our cat knocked his bowl over and ate him.

I will certainly pray for Kai.
I used to have a betta. When I came up to the tank he would wag his body, and he would come to the top of the water and take food from my fingers. He was so beautiful.
Have you been to your pet shop? There are medicines for those things.

Thanks.

Your betta sounds a little like one of my boys. (Except Lelouch Kais 'brother' is a biter.)

I have and I picked up Ich medicine just in case but it seems to be class A pop eye and I'm treating it with epsom salts.
