So my very first betta boy Prince (my avatar picture) is having a little trouble.
Now, I've had him over a year and I know he wasn't a baby when I got him. He got this white patch on the top of his head. It wasn't raised, it was just like the scales turned white. It was the oddest thing... Looked like he was getting gray hair (I know he's getting to be an old man, but who knew bettas could go gray!?) He's had this for a while now.
I searched around and figured that it may be fungus. So I treated with that organic Rid Fungus stuff. Well, that didn't work. I'm in the process of trying one more Fungus treatment but I'm starting to really think that's not it.
It's starting to look more and more like a tumor. It's starting to get raised up and push out the scales a little.
Ugh! If it is a tumor this will be my second boy in 4 months! And he's my very first boy, too.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be other than a weird tumor?
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures at the moment. Not only is he a big grump who hates the camera, he's at my parent's house keeping my mom company during the week while I'm at school. I'll be home Friday to attempt to get pictures.
