I've owned Bettas in the past but I've never encountered this before.
To give some backstory, I was just at a Walmart and decided to look
at their pet section, what I saw I wasn't expecting, they had small 5 gallon tanks
overstocked to their absolute maximum compacity, and a large amount of betta fish in small cups about an aisle away from the other fish, next to a bunch of small aquariums, it saddened me to see a Walmart still
doing this, and I couldn't help but try to save one of the bettas, because my 10 gallon was currently
empty and unprepared for any sort of fish going into it (we just moved and its absolutely filthy from being
on the road), I bought the nicest looking cheapo fish tank I could for temporary use, some "tank water", fish
food, and grabbed one of the fish that were in the absolute back of the betta fish shelf, he's this small, still looks pretty young crowntail male, he's a yellow color with an orange tinted head, when I saw him, I looked him over for any sort of diseases like fin rot, ick, swim bladder disorder, ya know the usual stuff bettas that aren't cared for usually get, he looked fine in my rush to get him out the **** hole, but once I got the tank set up, and got him adjusted, I noticed two red dots sorta between his eyes, they literally almost resembled nostrils, but they didn't make an indent, I'm not sure what this is, is it some sort of marking or something?
