I have a blue betta and last week i filled his tank up with creekwater from across the street thinking he'd like fresh water. I used to do this for my daughters goldfish all the time and he loved it. This time it didn't turn out so well however. After only a matterof days he began to look terrible. At first i thought maybe there were chemicals in the water since they've been working on the road above the creek where i got the water. But now he has some type of bacterial fungii or growth extending out about a 1/4" on each side of him and he's hardly moving. I'm thinking that maybe he just didn't have the defense mechanisms in place to protect himself from our local water as he's not a native fish. He's been back in the tapwater now for a couple of days but it doesn't look like it's helping.
What do you think, can he be saved?
