Hi all,
This is my first time posting on this forum, so please let me know if there’s anything I need to fix.
About 2 weeks ago now, I noticed a small white dot growing on my bettas mouth. Over the course of a few days, it grew into this line that goes down his lower lip. I would write it off as normal color change, however I have seen him flashing on occasion, which is new behavior for him. Other than these two symptoms, he is completely normal.
I wanted to treat immediately because the white spot was growing fast, so I have been doing about 3/4 dose of Seachem Paraguard for about a week now. The white hasn’t grown, but also hasn’t gotten any smaller, and I saw him flashing just yesterday.
I cannot figure out what this might be and if I should be treating with something else or leaving it alone!

First two pics are recent, last pic is the white dot I first noticed. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
