Bellydancer Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 21 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Sep-2004	My female betta has been living in a 33 gallon tank for about 3 months. Recently, I noticed she was acting strange, and a couple of days later, I noticed she had these red spiky things just behind her ventral fins. I separated her immediately, and it was then I noticed she had this open sore, with the red spiky things sticking out of it. She's still eating, and hasn't lost her color. I was wondering if it's a fungus or parasite, and what's the best way to treat it. ps. none of my other fish seem to have it.
