Hello!
Earlier today I released my male betta from his breeding trap he had been living in for the past week or so.
He settled in immediately and got to work starting to look for some food. I came back up about an hour later and he was swimming about in the corner. He came over to say hi and looked fine.
I just went up to check on him and he was still there, but he had a sort of grey patch on his head, and some on his fins, too.
Sorry the pic isn't great, but it's that sort of Y-shaped grey patch on his head.
What's happened!? Has he been attacked, or has he got a burn on his head, or something else?
I really don't know what to do. I don't want to leave him in the trap if he just got burned, but I equally don't want him getting bullied!
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!
