I have a male betta. On one part of his body, it looks like a scale is raised and a small white something is attached to the area. OR maybe his scale isn't raised and something else is attached to it. No other signs of illness that I can see. He's eating well and lively at this point.
Tank parameters: ammonia just a hair above 0 (I'll probably do another pwc tomorrow) , nitrites 0, temp is 80.
Tank is 5.5 gallons and has been set up for about a month. It's still in its first cycle.
I use a sponge filter for up to 10 gallons.
Last PWC was done on Thursday, about 50%.
I did add a small terra cotta pot yesterday. Rinsed it thoroughly in hot water before adding. I also reagarranged the decorations a bit and probably stirred up some stuff. While I was doing this, I noticed a small bit of white stuff attached to a ceramic shell decoration that I had not noticed before. It looks kinda cottony.
I feed him Hikari betta bio gold, 4-5 pellets a day.
Here are some pics, two with flash, one without.
As I am writing this, I checked him again, and it looks like the small white thing came off his body. But the scale is still raised/swollen/or something is else is still on it. I think I saw the white thing floating around in the water but I lost track of it.
