If you look closely at the dorsal fins of this Betta he has a strange green growth at the very tips of his anal fins...these don't seem to bother him, and he seems in every other way normal as could be..no change in behavior, eating,etc. It also seems to be on one very tiny spot on his tail..no bigger of a spot than that on his anal fin. Can anybody identify this stuff?????

Have you treated for it? Also, what are the water parameters in the tank, and how often do you change the water?

Update: The strange green stuff has been identified. It seems that the soft cloth plants we had gotten for our bettas tank unraveled a bit, and our betta loving to swim around them actually got them intertwined on his fins. Mystery solved!
