My fish has two white spots in his "face". I have been reading a lot about fish disease but white spots can be many things: parasite, fungus, bacteria... I's my first betta and I don't understand very much about fish.
It is swollen between the two white spots, like if this white thing was entering and coming out. How can I know what kind of medicine to buy? For parasites, bacteria...? Please, see photo of my sick betta attached (not a good picture, sorry)
I really apreciated if anyone could help me.
Thanks

you could try some jungle fungus meds on it...I think they have one that treats fungus and bacterial at the same time? Only other thing it could be is healing from an injury...but if you didn't see any injuries in those spots recently then I'd go for fungus or bacterial.

reagan had those on his eyes. one on each eye smack dab in the middle. as soon as they appeared they dissapeared. my guess in a parisite or healing wound.
