Betta might be blind?

[ninamarie]

I was looking at my Betta Marble this morning and his eyes look like thre is a white dot on each of them.

He is akinda old 3yrs now and so I am wondering if there are any pictures out there that I can see and compare him too.

Thanks,
Nina

My male betta Juju went blind before he died. Does he seem to be running into things? I didn't see a white dot...but I did find one in the right eye of Trinity the swordtail that died recently.

This was him: (the green spots are algae...not in his eye...on the glass)

he isn't running into things at all he tends to go nose down and then lay on the rocks. he eats fine flares so maybe he isn't blind, Iwill take a picture and post it here .

thanks

If he's flaring then he can likely see.

I think Marble is just fine too.
thanks

I have a copper betta with one eye. I guess if he can find his food, he should be fine. UltimateBettas (Powered by Invision Power Board) will help you better. Ive seen some that were blind.

I noticed white/opaque spots on my bettas eyes a few times. He seemed fine otherwise and they went away after a week or so.

he is an old man and one could say he has cateracks

 

[ninamarie]

he is doing fine now.
