Trying this again since I got no responses earlier today. My daughter’s betta has white on his face and seem to be gasping at times. He’s still eating. I’m concerned some endlers I introduced 10 days ago may have gotten him sick, or could it be something else?
Tank is 10 gallons heated. Usually around 78 degrees but I worked it up to 81 today. Have had the fish one month. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 1ppm. I took the endlers out after 5 days because one of them lost part of its tail.
After work I gave him a salt bath. I’m just not sure what to treat him for.

It’s hard for me to see in the video, but white can be ich, fungus or a bacterial infection. I recommend ichx and maracyn or melafix if you’re in Canada. Good luck!
He’s just ready to mate with a female He’s making a bubble nest That’s what male bettas do
If he’s got white dots on his face he might have it so you might want to get some it medicine for him I just recently got rid of some ick on my fish
Not sure about the white stuff, but 10 gallons is too small a tank for any tankmates other than fish and snails. Stick to those only until you have a bigger setup.
