Hi guys 
I've got a new problem as stated below,
New Fish symptoms:
White string protruding between ventral fins.
No change in eating or swimming habits
I've tried using a pipette and water to see if it moves/ dislodges to no effect except a bit of flaring from the fish haha. I have not give him blood worms in a week (though they are chopped up) just in case something got caught there. All the plants are silk and this is a recent thing i have noticed. Should i wait it out longer to see if it dislodges on its self. Though its definitely not fuzzy like a fungus, it is like a white dead skin. Very strange =/
I'm going to take it as constipation (but i am not sure where the anus is on a betta fish) and not feed him for a bit, followed by a pea unless directed otherwise.
My only other thoughts, over feeding, stress (tank cycling), internal parasites, bacterial infection.. i'm not sure the right course of action..
Tank:
Fish in cycle
Heater + filter
25 litres
3 50% changes a day or one very large depending on test results (API liquid)
Had a large change today
I'll test for ammonia etc. if you want the results.
Fish:
New betta fish came with fin rot (local chain pet store) recovered from white spot
Fin rot with aquarium salt treatment.
Active and eating
Chemicals used:
Prime
Treatments on hand:
Aquarium salt
King British white spot control/external parasites/costia/trichondina
Any ideas what this could be?
