I got a Betta today and put him in my already-cycled 10
Gallon tank (It does have a filter and a heater) and so far he has stayed against the side of the tank, swimming in place and just floating.
I'm mad at myself that I can't remember but I don't know if he was already like this when I got him, but the scales on his head have lost their shine (compared to the rest of his body) and some are turning kinda brown and spotty.
He stays very close to the top of the water and lets the water current pull him around.
I'm afraid I've already hurt him or made him sick.
Is he just scared of his new surroundings?
I kept him in the bag and let him float in the water for 10-15 minutes.
What can I do to help him?
