Are you talking about a Marine Beta (Calloplesiops altivelis) or a FW Betta (Betta splendens)? You may get better help focused on you if you start your own thread. If you want to do that, private message (PM) me or a moderator, and we'd be happy to help you.

OP, I hope for your sake it's algae and not diatoms or the dreaded dinoflagellates. Your choices are fairly different depending on your ID being correct. Since that's an old post, have you figured it out?
