I have recently bought a veil tail betta a few weeks ago.
At first he was placed in a 1L aquarium but I then placed him in a 20L tank; decorated, has a filter with a low current hitting against the wall, a heater set on 27°C, a thermometer, live plants, the aquarium is complete with a fluorescent light and hood attached, an air stone I set on low, no gravel and housed with a small bristle nose pleco.
His tail was much more longer when I first got him. I've seen bits of his tail on the bottom of his tank (probably biting since I was adjusting the current so it could cycle the tank) and have seen some white at the ends of his tail; I don't know whether it's fin rot or fin growth.
He is very active and eats healthily, but recently he ate some algae tablets -meant for the pleco- so I have starved him for 2 days now.
What's happening? He's my first betta so far. (Planning on more after I get used to him ;p)
