Question about betta?

Question

So I had asked a while back about a possible bubble nest that my male beta had made. I was confused by it because they actually didnt look like bubbles , but like actual eggs. Silly I know but for curiositys sake I borrowed a high powered magnifying telescope to look at these things. They were a solid mass. They didnt pop and they are now at the bottom of the tank were they have sat for over a week. Well....

I went to feed him today and noticed something white coming out of the area where they p**p.

It was those white egg things. What in the heck is this?

Answer 1

If it is a male Betta then they are not eggs. If the water is very still on the surface and there are some floating plants then the Betta most likely made a bubble nest the first time. The white stringy p**p you are seeing could be a sign of an internal bacterial infection. If you suspect your fish of having an internal bacterial infection then I have personally found that medication called "General Cure" can clear it up real quick.

Answer 2

He may have parasites.  I'd get him on some anti-parasite meds and see if that helps.

Answer 3

Try the website below and see if that matches your description. They also talked of parasites. Hope your fish feels better soon.

Answer 4

I think he may have a parasite of some kind. If I were you, I would take my beta in to a Petco or something. Maybe they can have a look at him and make some suggestions. I know I was able to take my beta in to a local pet store and, even though he unfortunately had tuburculosis and there was nothing they could do, they still were very helpful and gave me a medicine that kept him alive for an extra week.

Anyway, there are parasite medications. And give them Betta Fix. It worked wonders for all my betas.

Here also is a website that really helped me with my betas.
