I purchased my betta last week from a local pet store and also a nice square half gallon tank, (small I know but I live in a dorm lacking space) He seems to like it anyway.. His name is Narong, derived from the siamese language meaning “to make war” lol
He hasnt eaten hardly at all since I brought him to the dorm, but I think it may be an issue of the room temp water. I have just recently purchased a small heater and two kinds of foods (brine shrimp, and bloodworms) but they will be arriving in 3-5 days. Hopefully this will help him start eating…
But my real question is does he show early signs for fin rot? I have been noticing small black dots on the ends of his fin extensions and some back fin damage that was there when I first brought him home. Take a look for yourself.
