jillybeans01 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Ph:7, Kh:40, Gh:150, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, ammonia 0. temp 80 I am a new hobbyist with a betta fish that I rescued from bad conditions. I have him in a 10 gallon with a few plants and a mystery snail. My fish has white spots that are seeming to spread over his face and being a first time fish mom I really need help diagnosing. He still is interested in his food and doesn’t seem lethargic. I added crushed corals to help the alkalinity hoping that might help, but the alkalinity is still really low. the first picture is when I first added him to the tank, the next is 2 weeks later and the last photo is yesterday. I’m really worried about him and I really want to be careful when medicating him and would appreciate any advice.

Colu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I could be a bacterial infection with secondary fungal infection I would treat with maracyn and ich x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybeans01 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) @Colu Thanks for the response! I was wondering Is that safe for the snail or do I need to put my betta in a separate tank to medicate him?

Colu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Both maracyn and ich x are snail safe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
