I don't see any ich or ailments -- how long have you had it?

There are a few white spots on the lower fins...

I've had him for about 2 months now. Problems started to come up last night. If you look really close you can see on his tail.

My dad likes to buy fish from Walmart, so while I was home a few months ago I got to battle FW ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) for a change. I experimented with malachite green, methylene blue, formalin, dosing salt into the aquarium, raising temperature and every other "quick fix" which supposedly treats FW ich. In the end, a bottle of Coppersafe got the job done. Once of his fish is a betta so I know its safe to use on them too.

I was treating him with coppersafe, sadly he passed away last night

I lost my betta a couple weeks ago today. Terribly heartbreaking - I believe he had dropsy and he suffered for a couple days while I tried all I could to help him. RIP Magellan and Tupac

For freshwater ich, I've had the best success with quick cure, which is a mix of formalin & malachite green. Usually safer than copper but it will turn silicone blue over time...
