I have a female plakat betta, age unknown, whom I rescued from a nearby Wal-Mart. She is in a 10 gallon, divided tank with my male crowntail betta, Sulfa.
Usually, Moonie, my female, is the healthy betta of my used-to-be threesome (I just euthanized one last month); when Sulfa has parasites, Moonie didn't. When Bishou (RIP) developed Neon Tetra Disease, Moonie -almost- seemed to get it, then it went away. She's only had one -real- health issue, and we never really figured out what exactly it was, just that it was parasites (anchor worms, maybe).
Anyway, now she's got a bump. A pimple-like bump, and some redness on her cheek near the bump (which is on her chin). Here's some pictures:
Here, you can see the bump on her chin.
Here, you can see both the bump -and- the redness on the side of her face, between the scales, which I hadn't even noticed until I took that picture.
Usually, their tank gets a 50% water change every two weeks, but I've been sick this week, so it's been three weeks. I just changed it this morning. Their temp is usually near 75 F, but I just put in their heater this morning, since the weater is getting colder, and the tank, too. I don't have any other reading, but since they are the only two fish in the tank, with no other companions, I'd like to say that everything should be normal.
Thank you for any ideas.
