new crowntail betta sick?

[Nini]

I bought a new crowntail betta last weekend from Mr Pet in Coquitlam and he looked good but now he is starting to get white "fur" at the end of his tail and fins. He doesnt seem to want to eat and now has really low energy as he just stays in one corner head looking straight up...

Any idea? Help?

Sounds like true Fungus. There are many meds for that, Bettafix, Erythromycin, super sulfa to name a few. In a small container try the Bettafix.

I have treated a similar "white fuzz fungus" on my crowntail before with API Fungus Cure and salt baths. I have noticed the fuzz appear during colder months. Maybe try turning up the heater a bit.

I have just bought the bettafix and I am wondering it says to do a water change after the 7 days of use but I'm wondering if I should do a water change now before I start?

I'm sorry to hear that your betta passed away.
