Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed? Stress stripes, looks like mouth has a wound or something. It is fuzzy/furry white around the mouth wound with a little bit of red.
How has your betta fish's behavior changed? More lethargic, stays at surface more, harder to eat pellet
When did you start noticing the symptoms? Just this morning, she was perfect last night.
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how? I put her in a separate plastic gallon tub with a heater set at 77-78, a piece of hornwort and anacharis, and a tsp of aquarium salt.
Does your fish have any history of being ill? No, but then again I only got her at Petco about a month ago.
How old is your fish (approximately)? No older than six months, she is tiny!
I am so worried about her. The fuss looks like teeny tiny hairs all coming up. It almost looks furry.. Here are some pictures.
