Single White Spot

[Kairi]

I just noticed that Cloud (the betta) has a single white dot on his side... It's larger than salt and I know it's not Ich.... any ideas? IF I have to treat the tank, I'll take the snails out and put them in the main tank.... but I dunno what it might be.

Is it a dot or a spot, does it look fluffy, and red edging to the spot.

 

[Kairi]

it's a dot. no fluffiness, no red edges... just a white dot. i tried to get a picture, but he won't let me see the other side of his body. he's weird like that sometimes.

 

[WILDER]

If the dot is the size of grain of salt it sound like ich, whitepot, any flicking and rubbing going on.

 

[Kairi]

no, it's bigger than salt. it's about the size of his food pellet. no flicking... just being his normal weird little self... with a spot on his side.

 

[WILDER]

Well it could be bacterial or parasite, i would just add some melafix for now.

 

[Kairi]

ok, thanks i changed his water and cleaned *a* plant... i'm in the process of getting the nasty stuff out that the snails aren't getting

Keep a close eye on him for signs of parasites, if the patch starts to get bigger, and fluffy looking you could have columnaris.
