Sachiel
Aquarium Advice Apprentice
When I was taking pictures of sachiel, I noticed his water is murky and he's got this stringy thing attached to his right fin, next to his gill. I've read about fungi, and I heard this is common with cottonmouth, but he doesn't have any cottony substance on his mouth. I also noticed he looks kinda velvety, but I figured that's from the minerals in the water (I conditioned it) This is new water, I let it sit for a while while the conditioner was working and put him in this morning. It was fine up until now. I do have pictures, obviously since I was taking pictures when I noticed it, so I'll show you all and see what you think. If it is a disease, what should I do? should I try Bettafix? Or is there something else you would recommend? I want to show him this year, so I want to make sure he stays healthy.
Additional info is, he's alone in a 5 gallon tank with a sponge filter and fluorescent lights. I keep the lights on during the day, off at night.
Please help me find out what's wrong with my baby
The other stuff is floaties in the water, it's the thing on his fin I'm worried about.
He's not lethargic, he was actively swimming around in the tank and flaring at the camera, so he seems healthy, but looks can be deceiving.
