Today I looked and noticed my blue betta has a weird looking brown scab on his head. Yes, my betta's are in the same tank because the other tank broke. There's a divider in the middle, and the tank isn't small. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/6897361798/

His caudal fin looks like it's been chewed or cut off pretty well. Has he gotten in a fight or stuck on a filter recently? Either would explain his tail and the coloring on his head.

For treatment, for now just try cleaner water. Up the changes to the tank that you're a;ready doing since you've got twice the fish in there now, and up the changes again to keep the water a little cleaner too.

does the spot on his head looks puffy or sunken in? Or does it look like regular scaling where it is?

The coloration may be from the faucet water what kinda water conditioner do u use? The api stree coat has water conditionder in it as well....also check ur ph...I checked the faucet water from the local town I'm staying in and the ph is 8.2+ which isn't the best for the little buddys. 7.0 is the best
