I went to the pet store and bought the betta in. Unfortunetly they sent a brand new worker to me, the guy had to be 8 years younger. Anyway he said the fish looked fine, but I ended up purchasing meds for treating velvet and parasites anyway.
I got something called Maracide (brand Mardel) It's strictly for killing any type of parasite, so if she has them they'll be gone soon hopefully. On the instructions is says that parasites and bacteria can be hard to tell apart sometimes, so if this doesnt work it's a bacteria problem, not parasites, it suggests buying Coppersafe as a backup if this doesnt work. I hope it does work. Treatment is every other day for 3-4 days. Whether she has it or not this should help.
Though I dont know how to tell if she gets better, since I never even noticed signs of the parasites. Is there anything she might do once better she hasnt done now? Will her color change (get more vibrant?)
After I added the medicine she was darting around alot, mabye it was cause the parasites were dying? She is acting normal now. I also purchased a small plant for her to rest/hide in, right now all she does is nip it cause it's something new.
When I bought her in 3 people at the store said what a great looking fish she was and were asking the store workers to find them a female like her, they didnt know I hadnt puchased her there.
