I was recently out of town, only to come back home to my sick Betta Moto who had some type of patchy almost white fungus growing above his head (
perhaps it's columnaris?). I decided to treat him with some
Maracyn Two, it seemed to clear up almost immediately by the next day
(I am very surprised this stuff actually worked!). I also cleaned out his
Cubus tank and finished his Maracyn Two treatment per box instructions in a separate container. He is currently back in his clean tank after three days, a bit stressed (
still eating though!) but I think he will be back to his normal happy-self in no time. I also decided to add a little
PIMAFIX into his clean tank as well just to help aid his fungal issue a little bit more.

I also decided to add a small satchel of
carbon to his filtration system to insure he is getting pristine water in his tank while he is still a bit "
under the weather". I am also interested to see if the carbon is capable of removing the slimy topcoat that the Betta seems to leave along the top of its tank water, as I am still not sure why this seems to happen or be a common issue with Betta's.
