Tumblr I need help!

So Crowley started to get those white spots everywhere. I thought it could be Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, but it looks kinda weird?

Can anyone help me with that? :(

Fishblr I need help! My boy beaker has developed this black spot on both sides of his tail.

I’ve been staying at my dad’s house for a couple weeks and my mom has been taking care of him, I know that she’s been feeding him responsibly but she may have missed a few water changes. I haven’t had time to test the water as I was only at her house for a short time today, does anybody know what this might be?

His tail looks strange because it’s regrow after he used to bite it before I started to buffer the filter with a sponge. My mom tells me that in the past week she actually changed the filter cartridge instead of just rinsing it off, which I thought I had told her why she’s not supposed to do that but I guess she forgot. Because of that, the only thing I can think of that might be going on here is that the cycle broke and it’s causing whatever this might be.

I’ve had beaker for around 9 months, the only health problem he’s ever had was fin-biting and he stopped doing that once I buffered the filter flow with a filter sponge.

Does anybody know what this might be? I want to help him before it gets any worse. When I checked on him today (same time I took the pictures) he seemed a bit fatigued, he was only using his pectoral fins to swim and wasn’t using his tail at all. Although he did flare at me and at the camera like he usually does, so that gives me alittle bit of hope.

Any advice is welcome! I’m gonna tag a few fishblr people because I need to know what might be going on here.

Also if you don’t have advice please reblog anyway in case any of your followers might have advice! Thank you!

Please help my Betta!

I have had my betta Chadwick for almost two months now and he's living comfortably in a 5G tank which he has all to himself. The temperature has been a constant 78 degrees Fahrenheit and the water parameters are fine, nothing really out of the ordinary...until later this evening. I left the house for a couple of hours and when I came back, he looked like this:

A huge chunk of his tail went missing and not to mention, he keeps on flaring. I ruled out him being snagged in the decor since he has been in and out just fine. The plants has been in the tank ever since I first placed him in and he is as active as can be. I know that tail biting is often unexplainable and that it is not to be unexpected with long tailed bettas but I couldn't help but wonder if he's in pain...and to those who has experienced their betta's biting their tails, what do you suggest to help speed up the healing process?? Will it even grow back to what it used to look like?? This is what he looked like this morning:

(Please forgive the algae) And any tips as to how to prevent such a thing from happening again would be greatly appreciated 🐠

Edit: checked on him again this morning. He's already lost half of his tail😞

PS: my phone camera isn't the best so picture looks a bit iffy.
