Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed?
He has this weird mystery bump on his face, right above his mouth. The scales on this bump are raised, but there are no other raised scales on his body. Also he's looking a bit pale. His stomach does not appear to be swollen.
How has your betta fish's behavior changed?
He's a little lethargic, but still sits near the top of the tank to get air. His gills seem to extend more than usual when he goes up to breathe.
When did you start noticing the symptoms?
The bump appeared about two days ago.
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how?
With AQ salt and Stress Coat+
Does your fish have any history of being ill?
I treated him for popeye about 3-4 weeks ago, and I thought it went away...but now I'm concerned that it may have been an indicator of dropsy
How old is your fish (approximately)?
About 1 year old
