Hi, A white spot appeared on the side of my beta fish next to the eye. Is it a fungal infection, tumor or something else? Attached are the photos. Thank you very much in advance for the help. Claire

I recently noticed my betta had been acting erratic (I.e banging against things, not really eating) and just the other day I saw this white spot that had formed on his belly. Not sure if it’s ich or something else. Any help would be appreciated!

I’m watching my friend’s fish while she’s away and I noticed a white spot on one of them today. I’ve been doing my best researching what it could be, but I think I really need the feedback of someone more knowledgeable. My friend has a spare tank that can be used as an isolation tank if needed...

Hi everyone! I noticed a white spot on my betta's back a few months ago, but didn't think much of it because he was a white/blue cellophane betta at the time of purchase. Now looking at him from certain angles I've concluded that the spot doesn't look quite right to me and it I'm growing a bit...

Hey everyone! I noticed this white spot on my bettas head this morning? I've read online about ick, HITH, etc to no avail. Could it be an injury? Or something else Anyone? Anyone have any idea?? This is our first betta and our only fish. We've had him since December 11th. 10 gallon tank, water...

Hello! I am a first time Betta owner and I've notice that Indi Rhae's fins are starting to curl. I was worried it might be fin rot, but it doesn't look like any of the pictures I've seen of what fin rot looks like. It's not black per se, but more of a clear/white color. He also has a white...

He has been sick for about 2 weeks now, started him on doses of furan-2 for fin rot and lethargy etc, only got 3 out of 4 doses done as I went away before the cycle could be completed. He looked fine though and fully healthy, swimming around and greeting me so I thought he would be ok. So came...

My Betta tank fell on the floor and broke yesterday and my Betta was on the floor for like 7 seconds and I put it in a temporary small tank and just got a new tank today and put it in and 6 and a half hours later I noticed this white spot on my bettas lower lip, I never noticed this spot before

So, I just recently got a female crowntail betta. She was originally in a 4.5 gallon (baby biorb) tank with center filtration. When i got her, the petstore employee told me that she would be fine with snails, so I got two netrite snails with her. She started booping their shells, so I got her a...

My betta fish has this white dot on his head as well as some tiny ones on his body that can only be seen up close. I first noticed it when I was putting him into my tank when I got home from the pet shop. At first I thought the dot on the head was just a scale that had lost its colour but now...

I got a new female betta, Journey, just 2 days ago. It wasn't until I brought her home that I noticed a white spot on her back. It's too big to be ich, and it's not fluffy or raised. I'm paranoid though, could it be a fungal infection or is it just part of her? Journey is my first female betta...

Good afternoon, all. I was at Petco during my lunch break and saw a betta that had been there for a few weeks (I had seen him there a few times before). He has a white spot on his side and is missing scales in that location. After discussing this betta (who my friend lovingly dubbed Sashimi)...

My Betta has a white spot on his face, it just appeared one day. It hasn't really changed in size or shape and I see no other spots like it on his body. Also, his fins used to be real smooth on the tip but I'm noticing that it's looking jagged now. It seems to be getting worse. His behavior...

Hello all, I am new to these forums so please let me know if more information is required. I have had my betta for roughly a year now. When I first got him, he had a small white area on the top of his body by his top fin that looked like a missing scale. He seemed healthy so I thought nothing...

Hello, A month ago, we became the proud new owners of a betta fish we named Gilgamesh. This is our first fish ever, and we're learning more and more everyday, but we still have a lot of undiscovered territory, so forgive us if this is evident. We got Gilgamesh at a pet store specialized...

Hey guys, my beautiful baby Opal has developed a rather noticeable white spot on his tail (not fins) His fins are in excellent condition. Scales are smooth, not slimy, and not sticking up. The spot is not cottony or fuzzy from what I can see but does protrude slightly. It does not emerge...

Please help me out. I have a dark blue female betta fish. She had ich the first few weeks I had her and I put the methylane blue stuff in her tank and that cured it, but this time whatever she has is different. I changed her tank water, put half a tablespoon of aquarium salt in it and put...

Hey guys my female betta lost a lot of scales when she had pop-eye. I noticed this little spot where her scales haven't seemed to grow back yet and there was some white in it... Is that a parasite or just a new scale? (I've noticed the scales growing back in are a white color) sorry about the...

Something is up with my divided ten gallon. Tonight my lovely rosetail dumbo died suddenly of unknown causes. The only clue was that his belly looked a little bloated, although everyone has been fed normally. After removing Ollie from the tank, I noticed that his neighbor, Bowie, also is looking...
