It was hornwort and yes it suddenly dropped all its leaves. I did a big water change to try and clean it up but theres soooo much.

Update: this is the third round of medication. The whiteness is receding! One of my plants completely died m, not sure if that's related or not.

I got the carbon out and put the filter back in and as soon as I turned it back on the water got ungainly cloudy. Should I be concerned?

Thank you. Will do.

Even though the carbon is older than 4 weeks? I still need to remove it from the filter pad?

The tank is 5.5 gallons. So along with the weekly changes I need to start a monthly big water change? I thought that would make the tank recycle, which can kill my fish.

I do a water change ever Saturday. I change about a gallon out. I've never heard of cleaning the gravel so idk exactly what you mean by that. I dig my siphon into the gravel but that's about it.

I noticed the whiteness last week and did a real good down in the gravel water change and theres not been any change which is why I went to the pet store today for water testing :/

I have not added anything to the tank and it has been established since March.

The white doesnt look cottony. More like his lips are painted white.

The files are too large and the pictures wont upload. I bought Tetra Fungus Gaurd

Forgot to mention, I had my water tested at the pet store and it was the associate there who suggested fungal infection. She told me not to do a water change because all my levels are exactly where they need to be. (I know I need to get a kit of my own but my budget hasn't allowed that yet:/ )

Hi. I have a carbon filter. One of the cheapy nothing fancy kind so the carbon cant be removed without destroying the filter. It's been in use for longer than 4 weeks so the carbon part should be ineffective, right? I suspect my poor betta has somehow got a fungal infection. His poor mouth area...
