If your fish is well cared for then disease should not occur very often. When your fish do become ill you should act immediately. This topic is so broad that I can only give a general outline here. As ominous as these diseases sound you should be aware that most are easily treatable if you recognize the signs and treat your fish quickly. As always Prevention is the best cure.

Do bettas have gills?
Bettas and other members of the anabantoid family of fish, which includes the gouramis, paradise fish, snakeheads and combtails, all have adapted to life in stagnant, oxygen depleted ponds and pools. In many instances, they cannot get enough oxygen using their gills alone. They have therefore developed an organ called the labyrinth organ, a long, coiling airway that enables fish from this family to breate atmospheric oxygen, thus reducing their dependance on the oxygen held in the water. In many fish of this family, their dependance upon atmoshpheric air is so great that one can if it is prevented from reaching the surface.
