I suggest you use as directed Pimafix and Melafix. This should reduce any stress and help clear up any infection if that what it is. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

stripedcichlid Fingerling Posts: 41 Kudos: 46 Votes: 127 Registered: 07-Mar-2005 | well i found out what those white growths were the hard way. The pimple-like things ruptured and hundreds of small little brown creatures came out. The fire mouth didn't survive it. |
