I am so scared. My female betta was just fine a week ago but she has steadily been getting worse over the last couple of days. I tried to get a picture but the picture just wasn't clear enough to be of any use. Her gills are all reddish (they are red just from coloration but they are worse now) and they seem to be oozing white stuff. She has black dots all over her fins and her scales. I don't know what's wrong. I have tried several treatments but she hasn't responded. Please help me, what should I do?
 
What are the water parameters in your tank (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)? What size tank is your betta in?

Blue
 
The ammonia is a little bit high but I can do a quick water change. The betta is in a 2.5 gallon.
 
the red gills is most likely ammonia burn. You need to keep that ammonia as close to zero as possible...... even if that means changing that water more than once a day. The tank is small and fills pretty quickly so the cycle process would be more work.
