I just wanted to update those who helped me. I ended up treating Alan with kanaplex and it didnt seem to help. I then cleaned his entire tank and added aquarium salt and water conditioner. He still seemed to be getting worse. As a final last stitch effort before I let him live out his life in...

Thank you so much for responding and taking the time to help me. This is my first betta and I tried my best to do everything right by him but now I feel like I've failed him. I'm so overwhelmed. I tried to buy everything he needs and I feel like i cant even do that right. Anyway, I cant dwell...

Hi. I have a beautiful blue male betta fish, lives alone in a 5 gallon tank. I do 30-40% tank changes every 7 days. I noticed on Thursday his head suddenly had lost its color in a small area. I took pictures and showed it to people at the pet store, and no one had any idea what it was (not that...
