question regarding betta

[fishylove]

I was checking my betta tank today and noticed that there was some cotton (white) like stuff lying at the bottom of the tank...is it some kind of fungus or just that my tank is not clean...i had last added water on sunday

Is it a tank or a bowl? Yor supposed to change their water every few days unless you have a filtered tank. I bought a Hex. tank setup for my sons Beta for like 15.00 complete with filter, gravel and all. . I dont think you have a disease in your Beta tank, just sounds like lack of water movement.

Good Luck

I had that problem when I started feeding those Hikari Betta Gold . . . they look like little balls. The uneaten ones grew "furry" . . . white cottony stuff. I switched back to flake food and worms.

It's probably just uneaten food. Try to remove whatever your betta doesn't eat right away. A filter will help keep the water clean in between water changes but if you don't have one, you should do a water change several times a week.

Similiar to revfred's remark...the Jungle Antibacterial Medicated Food does the same thing. The little pellets grow furry after a day or two if not eaten..

Pretty much any uneaten food ends up like this. That is why you need to remove uneaten food after feeding (unless the tank is big enough for bottom feeders). That is especially true in an unfiltered tank, like Sannd stated above.
