hi, so recently my betta was moved from a 2.5 to a 10 gallon tank, the first 3 days were a success but i decided to get him some tank mates & ended up going with some small ghost shrimp & a cory catfish, he was a little aggressive so I decided to let him get used to them first & used the floating container method but when I was watching him in his container on top of the tank I noticed a small pinhole in his tail, so i did some research & learned about finrot & decided to remove any plants that came off as sharp, anyways today i let him free & while observing him I noticed tissue grew back over his hole & that it was smaller then before! Which was a relief, anyways he was very chill with his mates, rarely chased them but didnt nipp them so I decided he was ready to live along side them & left him for about 7 hours, later I come back to find out two bigger pinholes! One twice as big as the first one, He's swiming ok & he ain't acting up, but one small concern is that he's an early sleeper & rn its 1am in the morn & He's still swimming around his tank? He has a filter & temp is at 80° tomorrow I'm planning on doing a full water change & maybe quarantine him but if not use the drip acclimate method, please if you recommend anysort of medicine please give a little info on where to start! Thanks.
