Thank you, I was hoping it was that and not something that could kill him. He is otherwise very perky and alert and healthy looking, just has a small dot on his eye. 

Was looking at my tank today and noticed my betta has a small white spot on his eye. I haven't introduced any new fish, 29gal tanks heated, cycled, and maintained. His eye isn't swollen. No changes in behavior, still fiesty and active. I can snap a picture if that will help (If i can, hes a fast...

I don't have a pond. I have a 29gal tank. I can't even get rid of the fish because I'm in a weird joint custody with my stepbrother and he wants to keep it,

Green.

So I ended up with a fantail goldfish in a ten gallon(dumb stepbrother), and after being unable to obtain a bigger tank with the money I have, I have decided to do some switching. My tank that I've had is a 29gal tank, it has a betta, 9 neon tetras, and 5 corys. I'm considering switching the...

Yea, His fins were pretty torn up when I first got him, and they haven't grown back fully. My tank plants are finally growing really steadily now   I'm pretty pleased with my setup. I had my first betta in a 1.5gal Bowl for a year before I got him in the 29gal. He was in there for nearly 2years...

I do actually! My little guys in a 29gal atm with some neon tetras and corys. Heres a semi decent pic of him. He is a hard one to photograph. dont mind that odd glare lol. 

Betta's are picky with their tank mates, and you'll need more room for more fish with him. Is the 2.5 heated? ^_^

My filter is clear, most of it anyways. Usually when it starts to look a bit grimey and the flow is slowin a bit, I clean it. Take it apart and swab it with qtips. ^_^ Then it bumps back up to how it was when I first got it.

Oh my gosh... He is beautiful. That colouring is AMAZING! I love crowntails, though my betta buddy atm is veiltail. Whatya keepin him in? ^_^

It isn't raised or... anything. I thought maybe a scrape but its more of a random spot of very light coloured scales.

Bump up the temp to about 26-27c if you haven't already. http://nippyfish.net/sick-betta/fin-rot-and-fin-loss/ ^A fairly informative page. Are any of the stress-inducing causes relevant? I'm not sure if a 100% water change is really necessary that much. I hardly ever do a 75% water change all...

I went to say hi to my little buddy lastnight and noticed a strange, rather large, clear... thing. It looks like a giant scale. Also, this light discoloured patch on his head is very new. He had just eaten there so his belly is a bit pudgy. Is this something to be worried about? no ammonia, no...

Yay! Glad everythiing went fine. ^_^

Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here ^_^
