SRS
Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what’s going on with my betta fish. I’ve had him since May, he’s in a 5gal filtered tank heated to 80 degrees. In the last week or so he has started having some color changes with his scales getting grey/pale around his face and sides, looks symmetrical on both sides. He’s still eating but seems (maybe?) a bit less active than usual. Haven’t noticed any changes to his tail or fins. I checked the water parameters:
pH 7.5, nitrate and nitrite 0, GH and KH 180. Ammonia 0.
Would the hardness of the water be of major concern?
Could this be something like Columnaris or a fungal infection?
I attached a couple of pics. First pic is what he looks like now, second is a couple of weeks ago for comparison.
