Looks like the early stages of a growth there really common in Bettas due to low genetic diversity thought inbreeding they usually progress very slowly so what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties and monitor for the next two weeks give an update if it gets worse Edited October 27, 2023 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Betta is still active and seems to be otherwise fine. Should I just leave it, or should I try something else. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the growth is slowly progressing you could just monitor for or you could do a course of maracyn2 the active ingredient minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties just in case there's a bacterial component to the growth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
