Uhmmm, How Do You Get A Stain Out Of A Betta.....?...

[Snowdrifta421]

ok, I recently got a new a new cartridge for this little undergravle filter that I have in one of my bowls, and even though I rinsed the darn thing for like 20 minutes under running water, it still clouded the water when i put it in the bowl. After I took it out and changed the water, I noticed it had stained my butterfly's fins like a dark grey it has been almost two weeks since then and it seems,if anything like it is worse. So............ how DO you get a stain out of a betta??

turned you water cloudy? cloudy like it was cycling, or cloudy like charcoal dust?

also, a picture would be helpful. Discoloration is often linked to diseases. if, though, it was charcoal dust in the water, i can only imagine he got dust trapped in his slime coat. I don't know that there's any way to "get' that out, but it should certainly go away with time.
