Hey all! First post here. Nice to meet yall!
So I've had this betta for about a year and a half now with very few issues. He's normally a very active, curious fish. However, about a month ago I had to move him from his 6.5 gallon tank to a temporary 2.5 gallon. I made sure all the parameters in the tank were okay before I put him in, and he's been doing fine up until this point.
A day or two ago I noticed that he's very lethargic and not really reacting to much anymore. He hangs out at the top of the tank with his fins a little clamped and just doesn't move. He still eats but isn't as interested in his food as usual. Even when I tap the tank right in front of him he doesn't react.
All of the parameters in the tank are fine and the temperature of the water is okay. I've been trying 25% water changes twice a week and it doesn't seem to help. I have no idea what's wrong with him.
For reference I included a few pictures of him (his fins are open just because he had just moved a little to eat). The white spot on his gills have been developing for a while, but over the past few months increased in size. I just don't know what to do to help him. Any advice would be helpful!
