Bettas With White/clear Bubble Looking Things

[girl4God81]

I started noticing my female betta yesterday started getting 2 or 3 things on her back. They actually just look like air bubbles, and so maybe (i'm hoping) they are bubbles from the filter, as plats and such have bubbles on them too. But today I began noticing she has a few more and also so do a couple more of my fish. No adnormal behavior, swim around and eat fine..but it's a new thing. They have all only been in the tank about a week and a half..so maybe it's just bubbles sticking on them from the tank? She's so little that I'm hoping. If not then what IS it???

When you first clean your tank. After about 10mins. at least with my betta's in vases. Bubbles form all over the place and on even the fish itself.

When did you last clean your tank?



Also Here are two sites below describing what your fish may have.

Thank you so much! I just looked at her again and they are white and look like tiny little dots, randomly. They aren't puffed out...I think from the descriptions you sent me in the link, they probably have ick. Ok another question...
I noticed maybe 3 of them have it (1 is a betta) and they are in the same tank (10 gallon). What should I use to treat them?? Should I take my betta out and try to seclude her and is it contagious to other fish?

Well there is actually a pinned topic at the top of this forum, however to me it was quite confusing...

So taking a look at my medication supplies for my fish I would reccomend you use CopperSafe, It's made by a company named Mardel. You can get it at a petsmart.

Thank you SO much! I am just still pretty clueless and new at this, but I'm learning! Glad to see I am not the only one who loves having aquariums this much! I'll go buy it tomorrow !!

BTW if its ich its in the tank and on everything so you need to treat the whole tank
