Hello, I'm new here.

I joined this forum because I noticed that my betta is exhibiting signs of sickness, but I just don't know which one. I was hoping you could help? Yesterday, I checked on her and noticed that she started losing scales on her spinal area near her top fin. I have her in a 10-gallon community tank in my room, in that tank, she is with 2 emerald eye rasboras, 4 corys, and a nerite snail.

Then, this morning I looked at her and saw that she has poop dangling from where she goes poop but it is not brown and thick anymore, it looks very thin and white. Is this normal? I have only had her for 2 months so she is quite new. All of the other fish in the tank look fine though. Should I move her into the quarantine tank or put a little aquarium salt in there?

Please help me because I am very worried about her and I want what is best for her. (btw her name is Luna).

Thank You!
 
Could you post photos, please? It could be intestinal worms from the "thin and white" poop. Not completely sure, really.

Also, I know this isn't the point but rasboras and corydoras are schooling fish - they should be in larger groups of around 8 minimum.

Put her in quarentine! I haven't had had good luck with salt and bettas.

Thank you, I put her in quarantine yesterday and she is already looking so much better! Maybe I should keep her in a tank by herself. I am so happy for her!
