Tiny white balls (look like bubbles) on my Betta fish
I have my Betta in a ten gallon tank with four cory cat fish what is the best way to treat the situation. I was going to go to the pet store the get some anti fungal treatment Aquari-sol should I remove the Betta and treat him then treat the tank? will the fungus affect the cories? Does anyone have a good salution to this problem?
Answers:that is called Ick. For any fish you see Ick on move them to a seperate tank for treatment, a fish bowl will work as well. Use whichever medication is recommended by a small fish shop. don't listen to petsmart or wall mart people. They do not know about fish. Go to a hole in the wall fish shop. For the main tank you will have to treat it as well becuase the fungus still lives in spore form within the tank. I have always used sea salt in small dosages. Ask your fish shop guy how much for your tank. This should resolve the problem within 1-2 weeks.

remove the betta from your main tank and treat it. at the same time, look out for these spot on your cories too, they too, can be affect with fungus. If possible, do a water change and clean your filter of your tank as well.
It's called.."ick". There is a treatment for it.go to the pet store and ask!
they are right..remove it and treat it.its most likely ick
Go back to the store and buy "Ick" drops. What your fish has is definetley called ick it is common amongst fish in an aquarium especially one that is less than 10 gallons. Do a partial water change about half the water not all because the fish produce their own protective bacteria and need to have it to help them fight off the "ick". After the water change put in your drops "approx 10 drops per 10 gallons of water. Your fish will be ok. Try not to disturb them too much that is what causes the ick. If you notice at your local shop plenty of the fish are being treated for ick because of all the disturbances they get (tapping on the tank" etc. Good luck they will be ok.
The small white spots are Ick. After they mature they will drop off and fall to the bottom and infect your fish again, and again.
