Okay, so I have a community tank of 5 female bettas. I decided to get 3 Platys, knowing that my bettas would be intimidated by their size and leave them alone. Well a few days later, one of the Platys tail was half short and had white stuff on it.. then he sadly passed away. A couple days later after his death, one of my bettas had white stuff all over her body.. it wasn't ich because they weren't little white specks.. this was more serious. She sadly, also died. I was getting ready to separate the fish from their aquarium (thinking the aquarium had a contagious fungal infection), when I noticed one of my other bettas looking sick. I immediately seperated all of them into their cups with new water. My newly sick betta has stuff coming off of her gills and she isn't eating. She is at the top of her cup and it looks like something is infecting her fins.. she has a little bit of white on it. As I was taking pictures, I noticed that she had a little white string on her front fins near her head. Now, I think she has parasites or something. I know this is a long questions but I really, really need good answers. Also, don't get mad at me for putting them in their cups, they aren't staying in there for long.
