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.
