Tank:4,3g - 15L
Filtered: yes and baffled
tank mates: 1 amano shrimp (for nearly 2 weeks)
Heated: yes
Temperature: 25C
Behaviour changes: No.
Water changes: 50% and 100% once a week
Eros my opaque betta, has been with me for almost 2 weeks, however last week I noted that his fins began to tear. Since there was a red sore, I decided to do a conservative treatment with AQ salt + stress coat API in a QT cup floating inside his main tank, it started 2 days ago.
However the fin damage has increased and looks rather odd. Since my betta is white I've had issues taking pictures of the damage. Let me describe it as best as I can:
the damage is on his tail and dorsal fin. Especially on the tail, it looks ripped, cleanly and not ragged at all.
There are no signs of rot that I can register.
I also noted that the bottom part of the tail nearest to his anal fin has pin holes in them, very small.
The damage of his tail began with pinholes, which I was suggested it could have been damage from flaring.
But Eros doesn't flare much. And I don't think it's either decor damage or rot. Perhaps it is from flaring but I do not know...
