Hi everyone, so I have had my Betta fish for approximately 5-6 weeks now and I have noticed a change in tail shape.
When I first got him he as a square shape notch in his back tail and it was very smooth and I think just part of his build. However I have since noticed it has changed to a long triangle that nearly goes to the actual body of the fish. It isn’t red but it is slightly ragged.
At the moment I have 2 Norman lampeyes and I haven’t witnessed any fin nipping at all.
I just wanted to put this here to see if anyone had an ideas on what it could be and how to fix it? I have attached pictures aswell.
For context, I have a silk plant in the aquarium and also a temple monument with hard plastic plants sticking out-he likes to sleep on those.He also loves to sit by the filter so maybe the filter is sucking the fins up and damaging them?
I have attached the pictures, the first one is the day we got him and the last two were taken this morning.
Thankyou!! Id be so appreciative if anyone could help
