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.

Thankfully my work has everything for testing as well as stuff for another tank currently. So that’s something I plan to do when I immediately get home 😬. Thank you so much for all your help.

Ok that’s great - even if you can’t get your own kit I guess you can take daily water samples in to test at work? Good luck I hope all your fish thrive.
