Betta fish spots ?

[MaiMero]

i was gone for a day and when i came back i noticed my betta fish (Kaito) has brown spots on his face. im a bit concerned as it doesnt look good. can anyone tell me whats wrong

I'm assuming it is ammonia burn. How long have you had the fish? Do you have a test kit to test for ammonia?

When in doubt, do a water change and hopefully you have a conditioner like seachem prime.

50% Water change would be good, just make sure you are using a dechlorinator to remove the chlorine. Is there a filter of some sort on the tank?

It could also be velvet. Is there any yellow?

"Usually"? Unless you are taking only a small amount of water then that could be an issue.

How is your fish doing?
