My female betta has been living in a 33 gallon tank for about 3 months. recently, I noticed she was acting kind of funny. A couple days later, I noticed she had some red spiky things attached near her ventral fins. I seperated her immediately, and when I was finally able to see it, it looked like an open sore with red spikes. It's really gross. I've been treating it with fungus stuff, but I wanted to know if it's actually a fungus, or if it's a parasite. None of my other fish have anything wrong with them. She has been removed for about 4 days. What do I do?

It sounds like a parasite, but I can't really tell from your description. My first thought is anchor worms, but i don't know.

Is there a way you can get pictures up for us to see?

Is this what it is?

Ya! that's what it looks like, except the ones on her aren't that long, but there's a few more. Any suggestions?

No, I can't get pictures, cuz I only use the internet at work.
