My Betta has fungus. He is not able to move one of his front fins and the fungus is also on his gills on one side. He is distressed, but still moving.

As soon as I saw the fungus I moved him out of a 20 gallon tank (also home to two ottos and two bronze corys) and into a smaller bowl where I am giving him "bettafix" at the reccomendation of my LFS.

Would anybody know if there is any way to clear some of the fungus off of the Betta without causing more stress or anything else that I can do for him? Also, what should I do with the corys and Ottos in the 20. They seem fine and I'd rather they stayed that way...

If any of you can help me (This is my first tank and it's been running for almost a week) I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

just do a water change in the 20, and alittle salt.

for the betta, my suggestion is jungle buddies fungus clear in a 5 gallon tank. if u do not have a 5 gallon i suggest getting one, as they are useful for hostpitol tanks, just get a sponge filter to run in there, this should get rid of fungus.

Try giving him a few drops of an "All Purpose Cure" of sorts, just to be on the safe side ^_^
