Thank you! I'm treating using aquarium salt and Tetra Ich Guard pills. I'll stay the course for now. I tried getting more pics of Lil Ricky the Betta but when I can get him to approach the glass, the lighting has been off and doesn't highlight the spots on his tail and fins. He seems to be tolerating the treatments well so far, so fingers crossed that he pulls through!

Thank you! I will try to get a picture to post.

I'm new to the aquarium hobby and haven't had to treat ich ever before. I have a 10G planted tank for my betta. He had tank mates (neon tetra and a clown pleco) which unfortunately succumbed to ich :( . Water parameters were good following a half water change. I began treatment with aquarium salt (1tsp per gallon) about 38 hours ago. He has several white spots on his fins, but they have not spread. Cory's video on Ich said that it would spread a lot, but it hasn't been the case for my betta. I'm not sure if the lack of spread is due to it not being ich or because I've been using aquarium salt. I tried to get a picture, but unfortunately the little dude was camera-shy today. I'm unsure if I should stay the course and just let the aquarium salt do its thing, or pair Ich meds with it. I'd love to hear input from anyone who has dealt with this!
