Caper Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Sorry I don't know anything about bettas except their beauty! However, I have dealt with white spot. I can't really see in the picture. But white spot looks like someone took a salt shaker to your fish...hope that helps? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks Caper , dont think its white spot then ,it looks like some of his scales have lost colour ,my daughter said Bob is going grey . I will try and get a close up photo of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi called into Jansens and they tested the water nitrates too high ,i have been advised to do a 50% water change and another in two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 If he is going grey it could be he is producing extra slime in response to the stress of the nitrates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
