Donna, Female Betta


Tank size: 10g but I just moved her into isolation in 2.5g
pH: ?
ammonia: ?
nitrite:?
nitrate: ?
kH: ?
gH: ?
tank temp: 78

Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): 2 white patches, one on each side. they are flat, NOT cottony, and there is also a bit of white on the tips of her fins. She is swimming around and curious like usual, but whatever she eats she spits back out. I got a fungus treatment, API brand, active ingredients are 3 mg victoria green b and 30 mg acriflavine per packet. One packet per 10g. I followed the instructions exactly, added a packet, waited 48 hours, added another packet, wait 48 hours then change 25% of aquarium water. It did not help. And I did something really stupid, I thought it would be like preventative so I didnt seperate her I left Dwight in there too with the meds and now he is just laying on the bottom not eating. I'm so worried I probably killed both of them!

Volume and Frequency of water changes: I usually do 50% water change once a week (no filter, no heater)

Tank inhabitants: In the 10g there is a male betta, they are separated by a divider.

Take a sample of your tank water to the lfs and ask them to write the readings down for you.


The patches do they look like bleaching beneath the skin.
Any redness to the patches.
Any sign of flicking and rubbing, darting, erratic swimming, laboured breathing, excess mucas.
