Aquarium Advice Freak
Although he seems to be perfectly healthy (he eats regularly and has no trouble swimming), I've noticed one or two little white bumps on one side of my betta, Filbert's, tail.
To me, it doesn't look like ich but similar to how bent, stressed plastic can look. They don't seem to be getting bigger or spreading, but because I have so little experience with fish in general (I purchased Filbert on Aug 3rd), I'm not sure if it's a parasite, fin rot, or something else entirely.
If it's nothing to be worried about, thanks for reassuring a new fish owner c:
Other details: lives in a 2.5 gallon with some wisteria plants and eats once a day, 75-80% water changes every 6 days to a week
