All fish can catch the ich. The Ich is probably the common fish disease, the ich refers to a ciliated protozoan of the genus Ichthyophthirius. Ich is present all the time in aquaria just waiting the "right" time to burst. The ich covers himself with tough outer shell, in this time he feeds on the fish body fluids.This stage known as theront is a visible stage and we can see it clearly on the fish body. Each theront appears as a very small white spot on the fish body, those white spots are what we called ich disease.
Yes, Bettas can get ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), also known as white spot disease. It is a common parasitic infection in Freshwater Fish, including Bettas. It is important to treat Betta fish promptly if they show signs of ich to prevent it from spreading to other fish in the aquarium.

Male bettas are known for their aggressive behavior towards other male bettas, particularly when defending their territory or competing for mates. They may engage in fighting by flaring their fins and displaying aggressive behaviors towards each other. In contrast, female bettas can generally coexist peacefully with each other, although some individual females may also display territorial behavior.
Yes, bettas can go blind due to various factors such as poor water quality, old age, or genetic conditions. Signs of blindness in bettas include difficulty finding food, bumping into objects in the tank, or not responding to movement outside the tank. Providing a clean and enriched environment can help prevent blindness in bettas.
Bettas, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are native to Southeast Asia, living in shallow waters such as rice paddies, streams, and ponds. They prefer warm, slow-moving waters with plenty of vegetation to hide in. In the wild, bettas can be found in countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.
No, it is not recommended to house female bettas with parrotfish. Parrotfish are aggressive and can be territorial, which could lead to stress, injury, or even death for the female bettas. It's best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure the well-being of both species.

yes but the downfall that i founf is that the betta will make the other fish get ick and get a green film on them which is hard to get rid of. a betta is fine all by its self in a coffee cup with water (or something small)
I wouldn't think so since ick is a scale sickness and you don't have scales. My fish once had ick (their better now) and I didn't get sick with ick. but maybe you should ask an employee at a pet store.
Boy bettas have really big fins and are very colorful, and girl bettas are pretty much the opposite!
Bettas originate from Southeast Asia.

Male bettas should be kept alone. Female bettas can sometimes be kept with other fish, but in a large community tank. Bettas need their space!
bettas are very territorial fish, the males fight for their territiory.
Yes, ick is highly contagious. Fish get it when they are stressed out, depressed, and/or weak. Ick is believed to be in water already.It spreads very quickly from one fish to another and you have to treat it right away. To treat ick, take the infected fish to a vet or use a home remedy such as salt or heat.
the same as all the other bettas
