Karen B. Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Greetings I was looking at my betta and saw this red injury/growth on the side of its head. It looks definitely swollen. I am wondering if it’s an injury (there is a temporary diy divider in the tank while my female’s tank gets ready) and maybe he tried to stick his head in? Or does it look more like a tumor? In either case, How should I treat him? Thank you very much for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Maybe treat it with a little salt? Keep the water clean? To the best of my knowledge, you want to make sure it doesn't get infected. That may be as simple as watching it closely for it worsening or fungus growing on the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 You could add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
