Hello I'm not sure whats wrong with my betta, he looks like he has a pulled scales of the top of his head, like when we fall over and get a graze, it's kind of like that, I'll upload some photos too, any idea would be really appreciated thank you

Theres 3 photos, the 3rd photo with the bright giant green plant behind him is when he is normal, smooth one coloured skin, now the 1st and 2nd photo he has a pink patch where scales are gone

Thank you both! He tends to sleep in the plants at the back of the tank and squish himself in (he's a funny fish) probably caught himself trying to get into the corner or something! Thank you! I'll be sure to keep an eye on him and my water is always clean clean

Your betta has fin rot. I would recommend 50% water changes, daily and cleaning the gravel as you do so. Add aquarium salt to the fresh water, 1 TBS to 5 Gallons of water. Replenish the salt removed when water changing ( half a tablespoon)

Where abouts are you looking? are you on about the white'ish on his fins?.. that's his colours, I thought he was a dead fish when I first seen him, he is a proper zombie horror looking fish, I love it ? his scales are all different colours too it's great ?

No, that's fin rot or damage that isn't healing..

Considering its literally been the same for over a year & it's always been in the same spot and never moved, and posted various photos up before, even got him from an aquarium shop looking the way he is, I'll take their judgement, but thank you for your concern
