Septicemia?

[triliaeris]

Here is are two pics. One normal and one with the red line circled. Cottoncandy is a new betta which we just got today. He was a walmart fishy, so not in very good condition. He's being treated for fin rot which you can see in both pictures.

Here is our cottoncandy colored baby:

Here is the circled portion:

Does that look like septicemia to you guys? It follows what looks to be a main vein...but because of his coloring my fiance thinks it could just be a bright pink streak on him. It just concerns me because of the way the streak is.

I'm pretty sure those are just his veins showing through the skin, I can see the same thing in several of my light-coloured fish

Well that makes me feel better. I saw a palish one at the store and couldn't see his so I panicked a little. Thanks

Lighter colored angels have a red line at times that resembles septicemia. No reason any other fish should be different. Just make sure it doesn't spread. I wouldn't be too worried.
