Hi everyone! I’ve had my betta, Vito, for 2 years now. He’s a koi betta, so I know he’s prone to small scale tumors. He’s living in a 10 gallon tank by himself. The parameters are within normal with the exception of salinity (more on that in a minute). He was fine until I got COVID. I was...

My husband and I started to get into the fish hobby earlier this year with fish like a gourami, lots of platys, minnows, and mystery snails, all in our 55 gal community tank (upgraded from a 29 gallon). We haven't really had to deal with much concerning fish diseases, up until we got a Betta...

My betta has a small discolored bump on his ventral fin. I’m wondering if he got caught on something and/or it’s possibly infected. Has anyone else experienced this? His other fins look healthy otherwise. Also I just did a 40-50% water change 30 minutes before I took the reading, so I’m not sure...

Hi! My precious fish that i've had for about a year now has some sort of bump on him.It's a different color than the rest of his scales. He is still acting normally, eating fine, and responding to when I come near the tank. It's raised up a bit, and if it's something serious I want to catch it...

Our female betta, Firefly began flashing a week and a half ago, but no signs of ich at that point. I thought maybe velvet so just to be on the safe side I used 5 days of Marineland All-In-One-Remedy, removed filter, covered the tank from light and kept it close to 84-86 degrees. After 5 days...

Hi all, I noticed yesterday that my female betta fish has a lump on one side of its body. No behavior changes or anything at all, just the bump. I've looked around on this website and the internet and it's interesting to see that most bumps have appeared on the left side of betta fish, as did...

I do water changes once a week, then a scrubbing every other week. But for the past few weeks my tank has stayed persistently cloudy. I'm not sure why, it's never done this before. I'm hoping it has something to do with the filter, which I'll be changing tomorrow. I've had the same sponge filter...

It looks like a little pimple right where his tail fin meets his body. It doesn't seem to be interfering with his movement or bothering him at all, but I want to catch and treat it before it (potentially) gets serious. It's been just a tiny, barely visible bump for a couple weeks now, and I...

I have a male plakat Betta I purchased on June 26, 2014. He is in a 5.5 gallon tank all by himself. The temperature is 78. He swims, eats, and flares at his reflection normally. About a week into having him I noticed his fins were starting to turn red and his white body was turning grey...

Hi, my betta fish Kaida (male twintail halfmoon) has developed little white spots all over him in the past few days. He lately has been trying to bury himself under the pebbles and his tree and I do not know if this is itching or trying to hurt himself. I haven't seen him flare in weeks, so I...

Me better fish has a very large weird lump on her side, It does not seem to effect her swimming, but it is the size of a pea, so that is sort of scary on a betta's body. Here are a lot of details that may or may not mean anything. The tank is 30 gallons, She lives with a 8 inch Pleco, in a 30...
