Hi! I recently noticed some white spots with a bit of swelling on my betta's side. He is swimming normally, is active and is eating well. Any idea what it mught be and how to treat it?

Hi, I'm new to this website. I have owned Betta Fish in the past but I haven't had any problems like I'm having now. I rescued my Betta from a little tiny cup in Walmart last summer (2017) and nursed him back to health. About 2, almost 3 weeks ago I went to visit my sister for the week, leaving...

Overnight (probably), some light spots appeared on Reggie's head. My first thoughts were ick, but it doesn't look like ick to me. They aren't salt-sized, they aren't even that white. The photos aren't too good at showing, but they're actually sort of flesh-colored? As if the black pigment has...

PLEASE HELP!!!! BETTA & TANK HAVE WHITE MOLD OVERNIGHT ON THEM!!!! I just condensed my 3 ten gallons into 2 ten gallon tanks (2 fish/tank became 3 fish/tank temporarily only for the upcoming busy month). I did 80% water change and tried seeding the new tanks with water from the old tanks to...

Hey guys, so I was on spring break this past week.. My betta, Hagrid, came home with me in a smaller temporary tank (1.2 gal) and I was changing his water every other day.. He seemed to be alright in his little habitat, but this morning, I went to feed him and saw that two white round dots had...

Help! My betta buddy has white something's on his eyes! He is a beautiful, spoiled Delta Tail that we've had since last July. He has thrived in his filtered 10 gallon tank. I change the water 25% every week or every other in some cases. I recently added three snails to help with alge and...

I have two white betta fish and both have this like gold plate on there head but one looks like its now on a side along with the head. I'm scared something is wrong with these two girls. None of the other Bettas seem to have any issues. Could this be a fungal infection. I have pictures to help...

HI! my name is Sydney, i just bought a betta fish today from "pets unlimited". Seems to be fine. Great fins, active and not stressed. Noticed some black spots on its side but i'm pretty sure its apart of its coloring? just wanted to make sure and see if anyone could tell me if its healthy and...

I have had a fighting fish for about 7 months now, and I keep him in a bowl (I know, there's the first problem) that holds about 5L of water. Everything's been going fine until a week or two ago, when I noticed small patches no more than 1cm in diameter where he is losing his beautiful deep blue...

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...

I found yesterday when I was cleaning my fish's tank that she is getting white and purple scales. When I got her she had just a pretty baby-pink color with a little bit of purple around her fins. Housing It's not technically a tank (glass candy jar) but I think it's around a Gallon. It's the...

My Betta Helblindi's scales are turning yellow. Every post on here that I find about yellow spots on the head said something of it being a growth, but the scales are just yellow. I don't get it and I've looked at around sixteen pages so far. He used to have a roommate (via divider in his...

I know many say "betta color change is normal" but I just want to be sure my betta is safe. I noticed a black patch looking thing forming on his head and i dont know what it is :-( Here is a picture of him from a top view, there was a bubble near his eye. He also has been behaving normally. I...

Well before I begin.. I am on my phone and it's midnight so forgive me for any misspellings. I have a male betta fish named Oshie. I have had him for a year and he had always been pretty active. Recently, he has been laying on his side at the bottom of the tank & not swimming much. This is...

I've had my fish, Cloudee, for about a year by now. I keep him in a 2 1/2 gallon tank that includes a heater, water filter, and four small plants. I change the water once per week to make sure it stays clean and rinse the gravel clean about once every two months. But despite the care I've been...

My betta started getting several white dots after his first water change. When I got him (1 week ago) he didn't have anything wrong with him. After the first water change of the week, white spots occured. What remedy should I use? Housing What size is your tank? 5 gallons What temperature is...

Hello guys, I have been looking around the site for a while now trying to properly diagnose my lil fisheys problem but I can't seem to figure it out. I am a new owner of a small male blue/red betta fish whom I adopted from my housemate as he was fighting with the other fish in her tank. Over...

Ok so I bought a clear kinda white betta but now hes turning black.

Hello, first time poster here. I've read around a lot on these forums since before and now after getting my first betta fish, and thought you guys could help me. Since I don't want to treat my fish for something he may not have in the risk of damaging him, I thought I'd ask first. The past...
