Pinkish Area On Outside Of Gills?

[inveritas]

Hello,

So I have a Betta and 5 Cardinal Tetras in a 13G tank.

The Cardinals caught whitespot/ich, and I noticed the Betta had torn fins which I am not sure from the Cardinals nipping (highly unlikely), plastic plants, over-flaring or some other reason, and I separated them temporarily and am treating the Cardinals with Protozin, and the Betta with slightly underdosed Myxazin (finrot medication) for good measure, in case the tearing was from fin rot.

Day 2 of Myxazin treatment today, and I noticed pink stripes on the outside of my Betta's gills. Anyone know if this is a side effect of Myxazin, another illness or something I should be worried about? Image below:

Thanks!

I dont think the Myaxin will cause this. My females were fine after a five day course no pinkness round the gills. Belt and braces mate, do a 30% water change every day before adding the myaxin. The combination of the two should clear up the problem.

I'll do just that. Thank you!
