We found this white Delta tail betta at PETCO the other day and brought him home with us.he stays down at the bottom and won't come up when fed but it looks like he is searching the substrate for scraps. Our other betta Mohawk did the samething and when we turned off the filter he was fine. I turned of the filter in sicle's tank today and he is more active however he has strange eyes. They aren't popped out. See pictures below. My question is this. Is there something wrong or is this just some color deformity? I was so excited to find a white betta at the store that I didn't do a proper check so I don't know if he came to us like this or not.I included a picture of him facing me to show his eyes arent bulging.
