This is about Siamese Fighter fish?
Can someone send me some information regarding the food supplements and ailment treatments concerning fighter fish.
Which ailments? They have similar treatments to any other sick tropical fish (and remember most problems stem from bad water quality).
As for food, stick with a high quality betta pellet such as attison betta pro or hikari foods, supplement with occasional live/frozen (not freeze dried) food like bloodworm or brine shrimp. A few bite sizes pieces of cooked de-shelled pea followed by a starve day once a week should keep them regular.

frozen bloodworms. Dry pellet foods designed for bettas,These are usually fed at the rate of 3 or 4 pellets a day. Some contain vegetable extracts that can increase the colour intensity of red fighting fish. If kept in an unfiltered container pay close attention to removing uneaten food as it can quickly spoil the fish’s water.
Siamese fighting fish are highly susceptible too ammonia which accumulates faster in smaller containers. Prolonged exposure can weaken the fish and lead to bacterial infection. Visible symptoms may include a swollen stomach, lethargic behaviour and a lack of interest in food.
