New betta has ick (?)

[Hannah1064]

One of my bettas suddenly died about two weeks ago. I dosed the tank with ammonia a couple times but decided to get a new betta this past weekend. However, I noticed today that he has a thin, white, dust substance covering his fins and scales (I’m having wonderful luck with fish if you can’t tell). Thankfully, I haven’t used any equipment in his tank that could spread it to my the other tanks. Here is a picture of him: If this is ick, how should I go about treating it?

Raise the temp to 86 and treat with Paraguard. I like Paraguard because it is effective and gentle enough to use with plants, inverts, and scaleless fish. After two weeks, you should be good as long as any equipment (siphons, nets, etc) used in the tank during treatment have been sanitized (otherwise you will reinfect the tank with them). It is important to do the whole two weeks to ensure any ich in the water is also killed (heat speeds up lifecycle, meds kill).

okay thank you!
