Aquarium Advice Activist
Well it's kinda looking like my female betta has come down with ich. The past two days she has had clamped fins, and I thought it might have had something to do with a bacterial blossom that I had. I've gotten control of that with a couple 25% water changes and rinsing the filter with cold water.
But now I was looking at her and I'm seeing a few white spots on her tail...great...I just introduced my pleco this last weekend so that would explain it. Combine that with the bacterial blossom (I forgot to take out the rest of an algae tablet) and it started. It would also explain why my pleco has been twitching sometimes.
I wish I had a quarantine tank...I'm just not in any position to have one, being in college and all.
I read the sticky about ich and it makes sense. I'll probably stick with medicine for now. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
