Gill Disease?

[Nevergone815]

My female bettas gills have been getting redder and redder, at first I just thought that they were beinging irritated by an ammonia spike that I recently endured due to poor advice (the levels are almost back to normal now). But all the of the other fish have normal gills. The coloring around her gills has changed too, its yellowish, and shes naturally a very light pink in color and they appear to be bleeding slightly. I'm currently treating my tank for tail/fin rot with maracyn and maracyn 2. Should I just keep her in the tank and continue treating her in there? She's active, eating and not gasping for air, so I'm not sure what it is. Please help!! I'm going to the pet shop today to check out the new shipment of fish, so any meds u suggest i can pick up! Thanks

there isn't any excess mucus that i can see, her breathing and appetite are fine she keeps rubbing her nose/mouth on the front glass but not the sides. also the coloring is like a yellow brown in color and it actually continues partway down her body

here are some pics so you can see

Sounds likes gill flukes to me and sadly there isn't many things you can do to cure it. See if this site helps http/www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases.htm scroll down to the bottom where it talks about gills.

From the pics it actually just looks like her natural colouring to me... has she been acting any differently?

no not really her gills are more red and bleeding. i added salt to the tank (NO i didn't have my scale-less fish in the tank) and she seems to be doing better. she eats the same and she rubs her nose on the front glass, but she always did that. i think she likes her reflection (i have 3 sided reflection on my tank- front and sides- bought it that way from manufacturer) also she prances back and forth in front of the front glass but she always did that too. she isn't acting any different. she is her same usual friendly self. when she was eggy she shyed away for obvious reasons (protecting the eggs) but ither than that she is fine. she just has red gills that look like they might have bled or have bled at one point after i got her
