Betta Health: Ick (Parasite)
 |
Appearance:
White spots Maybe less active, may have stopped eating and his fins may be clumped.
Symptoms:
Dashing against rocks, plants or anything in his container.
Treatment:
Ick is a parasite and is contagious so do a good cleaning and add Coppersafe by Mardel. Raising the temperature to 84F. will help to speed up the cure. You should do more water changes to get rid of the parasite.

It takes great care and diligence to handle the needs of betta fish. I have seen them all over the my city, and they are rapidly growing trend to have one. A perliminary step in responsibility is tending to one fish. many high-end businesses are keeping them as a sign of Autonomy and Independence.

=( Can a blue spot form and the white bits form in the middle of it? Or is this something different.
