White spots have a number of causes. Large white patches are either fungus or columnaris. If they are growing on dead skin (ie an old injury) they are caused by fungus. Treat with an antifungal remedy. If they are not, it's probably columnaris. Treat with antibiotics. Small white spots that look like grains of salt stuck to the fish are ich. Buy a remedy for ich, ichthiopthilius (sp) or whitespot, different names for the same parasite. You can also treat ich with high temperatures and salt. The method is detailed in Tropical Fish Emergencies on this site: www.fishforums.net

Why does your betta fish have a white spot on its belly?
That all depends on the nature of the white spot. If it is a natural marking then ignore it. If it has just occured and is raised or like a lump it may be an absess. If on closer inspection you can see other white spots on the fish and/or its fins, then you probably have an outbreak of Whitespot or Ich. In the case of the former (an absess) you may need to improve your husbandry somewhat and start doing more water changes. If it is the latter,(white spot/Ich) a trip to the pet shop to purchase some Medication for Whitespot would be indicated.
Why does your fish have a reddish nose and white patches?
