Do Bettas get the ick?
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.

Can your fish improve after treatment for ich?
If treated accordingly with the instructions in you anti-fungi medicine, they should be fine in a few days. Don't freak out and empty the bottle in your tank! A few drops will do. Correction. Anti fungal medication is completely ineffective against Ich and ICH TAKES 2 WEEKS to cure NOT a few days. the cysts on the fish will hatch and dissappear off the fish but it by no means indicates that the tank is free of Ich. Distrust ANY medication that says it can cure ich in less than 2 weeks unless it has instructions to turn the temperature of the water up. An Ich treatment cannot do anything about the ich that is observeable on the fish themselves as the slime coat protects it but it can help prevent reinfection. The best thing to do is a 50% water change and remove any stressors(overly aggressive fish) Search for answers on the lifecycle of ich and you will have a vastly improved understanding of how to treat the fish and what to expect. It's one of the most common diseases and the most easily treated and diagnosed. 2 weeks after the last spot on the fish you can stop worrying and remove medications or salt in the tank.

ICH is a disease that is curable, but will kill your fish in a matter of seconds. You should go to a nearby petstore, your local walmart sells an ich killer but it very well will kill your fish too.
