Ooo, even though I am a wild betta person, I love a beautiful show betta. You have two really nice ones. Enjoy them!!
i think my driftwood or plant injured the betta. now theres the black scratches/spot on its body. is there anything i can do, to help him recover??
Hi! This is a beautiful specimen of show betta! You may want to keep the water clean by doing regular small volume of water change to prevent secondary infections from occuring. Maybe adding a ketapang leaf and staining the water slight tea color might work too since such leaves are also known to have anti bacteria properties. （i think)
All the best for its recovery!
Cheers!

the injured areas.
I don't think it got injured by the driftwood etc. Just looks like it lost some scales. If it happens to be a skin fluke infestation or some other parasite, the fish will show other symptoms. Nice show betta though.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Is there anymore things I can do to help it recover ?
Adding some salt to the water would help prevent secondary bacterial infections. Just continue to feed and monitor the fish. If it's eating fine, it probably isnt so serious.
Cheers,
Bernard

does ur decorations in ur tank accidentally cut ur betta scales or fins sometimes?
““When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.””
yes.. those from bigger tank do cut the betta often, have to remove them.
Nice piece there, any intention to breed it soon ?
currently, breeding my ultra red hmpk. if after that ... got time then breed this 1
