Does my betta have ick?

[NonExistant]

Hi I recently bought a betta just wondering if the fish has ick ?

It doesn't look like it does. I'm pretty sure my clown loach has ick though, the spots are slightly larger and there is only a few of them. You should look into treatment and such things just in case, also are you putting him in an aquarium? Might want to wait a bit until you know for sure what's going on. I have looked it up and it actually looks like your betta does have ick. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/f5/05/5af505a66b0ef46da79b734e4deb7e22.jpg

Yes, it seems like it. White spots are visible on its body in the last picture.

hm didn't see any? must have missed it or something

If it is Ich it is a process by where the tiny parasites, Trophonts develop as the white spots you see and when they grow up they fall off to complete the life cycle and continue with the Ich infections.

If you can see any spots you likely have it, looks like salt sprinkled on the fish.

Thanks for the article learned a few extra things about ick. I'll put her in a hospital tank for 2 weeks with some salt and at 86 degrees hopefully she gets better

I'll treat her just to be sure. I should have taken a better look at her right when I bought her but she was the only one that I wanted.

If it was Ich then the Ich is in the tank now an would re-infect any other fish you might have in there. Do you have any others in there?

I just got the fish in the little container from the local fish store
