While I was doing a water change about 5 days ago my female betta was sucked against the siphon tube for a moment. A few days later, some of her scale began to fall off/stick out in the area where the siphon tube had gotten her. Anyway, a few more days have gone by and there was white puffy stuff in the wound, so I betadined her using a q-tip and diluted solution of betadine. After I did this, she started to bleed in the area... should I be worried about this? Was the white stuff some kind of blood clot?
Other than this, she has been eating but has been a little more subdued than usual.
