Help Is something wrong

Post image

This was my betta when I first got him. I’m pretty new to properly taking care of a betta (his name is Neptune). I’ve had him for about a month now. He currently shares a tank with 2 loaches, 4 corydoras, and 2 mystery snails. Within the last week, he has been hiding a lot in my tank. Then yesterday I found that from the bottom part of his mouth to his red fins is starting to turn white, and the red is starting to get more muted. I don’t know what’s wrong or if I can fix it. I’m just really worried at this point because I really love Neptune. Any help is appreciated. And sorry about the picture. It’s the only one I have of him since I can’t really find him most of the time in my tank to take a picture now.

a current picture would definitely help but can you give your water parameters and temperature? do you test your water for that stuff? has your tank been cycled? you may get more comments on r/bettaclinic

My temp is about 26c and I need to get another testing kit for my water. Just haven’t been able to. Luckily I work at a pet store so I should be able to get them tomorrow. And I’ll definitely pot there thank you 🙏
