Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, I started the aquarium hobby about 2 months ago when I got my rose petal betta Yammy. I have him in a 10 gallon planted tank, the issues I've been having with him are his fins tearing. At first I suspected the female ghost shrimp, so I moved her to the 20 gallon with tetras and rasboras, but the fins kept tearing, so I then had my suspicions set on the piece of water bottle I've used to lessen the current, although it does not do a good job, I'd like a better suggestion, I've seen nylon tights being used, but there seem to be issues with the chemicals.
Another thing is that he seems to have 2 humps on both of his lower side. I have pictures and videos to show his fins and body to make it easier. The first picture does show a lot of sand but I removed about half of the extra sand. Also, does he look a little bloated to you guys?
The 10 gallon has readings of:
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 10 ppm
PH: 7.2
Temperature: 78F
Tank mates:
3 black neon tetras (Will get 2 more)
2 KuhlI loaches (Will get 3 more)
1 Nerite Snail
I understand some bettas can be very aggressive with tank mates, but Yammy is a special betta I'm guessing, he never flares his gills and doesn't go after them, in fact I've seen him lay down next to the Kuhlis and they seem to enjoy his company.
Here are the s and the link to the video, at the end you can see on the top fin where his fins are torn.
