Can bettas ( and other aquatic animals) get Lyme’s?

Can bettas ( and other aquatic animals) get Lyme’s?

A wild question. I live in Wisconsin where we are having one of the worst years for ticks. I live near the woods so, having a tick on us when we come in the house isn’t uncommon. And since we have dogs, finding them crawling around isn’t an uncommon experience either. Today, I was looking at my fish tank and saw a tick at the bottom. I have plants sticking out the top, so I am assuming it crawled in. But this got me wondering if this is something that can happen?
