Betta stressed in 30 gal planted?

[Elena]

Thanks everybody. I think I will give him a few more days. He is looking better at times- only to turn around and find him hiding again. He probably needs more time to adjust.

There is a tear in Sparkle's tail- he probably got stuck in the filter intake. I am taking him out. Will that heal? 2 gal until better living arrangements can be made.

It should heal with frequent water changes. Salt Baths could possibly make it heal quicker.

Quick update: he is now in a 2gal and the difference is obvious. He doesn't freak out anymore and has even started to follow my finger. Will post pics soon. Thanks everybody for the advice.
