White Spots On Fins

[jazzspazz005]

I noticed today that my betta has tiny white spots all over his fins. It almost looks like dandruff. I can't provide a picture, but does anyone have a clue what it could be or how to treat it?

pH is 7 and I change 50% of the water weekly. I got the fish about three weeks ago. Thanks!

It's simple. I sounds like you got whitespot.

Just treat it with general white spot treatment. Although you might wanna wait for other advice. As I haven't had to treat a betta with whitespot before.

Yeah def sounds like white spot. just pop down to your lfs and get some white spot treatment.
Just read the instruction and do what it says dont over do it.

also if you can raise temp to 28 degrees that will speed up the cycle.

Does it look like somebody sprinkled sand? Because my betta has it and I am 85 percent sure it is violet (oodom-something or other
It might also be a type of fungus. You should search a little more before rushing out to your lfs to buy a gazillion treatments (made that mistake... I found out I had the worng treatement, and the disease that I thought wasnt really the disease my fish had)
