One of my 10 gallon aquariums has the following fish:
1 Male Betta
2 Male Fancy Guppys
1 Female Fancy Guppy
1 ea. Mickey Mouse Platy's
These fish have been together for about 3 weeks in a tank that I fishless cycled. The water is very hard, 16degrees KH with a PH of 8.2 and a temp of 79 degrees, but those reading are rock steady, I tested the water this morning and have 0/0 ammonia/nitrites and I change the water every other day so I'm not worried about nitrates. This post is because this morning I went to feed the fish and literally OVERNIGHT my betta has this white fuzz all over his backbody and lower fin, I immediately quarantined him to a different tank and did a 50% water change in the 10 gallon, but I have looked through a few books and have yet to diagnose this fuzz, any suggestions?
