Why Does Betta Fish Becoming Blind Due to Cataracts?<\/span><\/h1>\n
Cataracts are a common disease of aging and can strike any species of the fish family. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Usually, when cataracts develop in fish, they are caused by too much protein in their diet or by the presence of too many carbohydrates in their body\u2019s blood stream. <\/p>\n
In Betta fish, however, too much protein or even too many carbohydrates may cause the development of cataracts, so it is important to keep carbohydrate intake in moderation and to get the right vitamins and minerals. <\/p>\n
The presence of too many toxins in the water can also hasten the development of cataracts, so it is important to remove these toxins as quickly as possible from the water.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that cataracts are different from mere loss of sight in that cataracts can cause the patient to lose complete vision. <\/p>\n
This can happen if the cataract goes untreated, which is not uncommon in Betta fish<\/a>. <\/p>\n
