I had picked up a little crowntail male beta, he is absolutely gorgeous.
Well I had him in my main 55g tank for awhile, and then I had picked up an angle fish and a few lyretails. So, to prevent any fighting and possibly death of my new comers, I put my beta is a small little gold fish bowl by my computer.
The water started getting filthy, and I didn't want my little guy to live like that. I picked up a little 3.5 gallon betta tank with a small filtration system (came with it) and he has been living happily there for a few weeks.
However, as I was feeding him today and just admiring him, I noticed he is now covered in white salty dots. I have always known this to be the dreaded ick, but never had to previously treat this..
How do I go about getting rid of this.. my poor guy isn't going to pass on is he?
------A side note------
His tank is getting cleaned regularly.
He does not have a heater as his tank is plastic, and the ac is on. So his tank might be pretty cold, could that cause it?
