Hello Community,
I have been working on curing my Betta of a very odd illness for the last two months. What is occurring is that he has white spots (almost look like large salt grains) that are raised on his pectoral (swimming fins). I have tried the heat method with aquarium salt (for two weeks plus) and then for the last week tried using AP Quick Cure (two treatment cycles). But neither of these have killed whatever it is. I am starting to wonder if its a bacterium and if Marcyn and maracyn II might be a good way to treat. Hes quite an active little guy and still eating quite well through all of this. Please let me know what anyone thinks. Additionally, his one fin seemed to have split near the biggest spot.
Additional Info:
5 Gallon Filtered Tank (Hex)
Temp 87 - 88 Consistent (Seems to Like This Temp)
Filtered with Bio Filter / Carbon Out For AP right now
