betta fin rip question
My betta had a few "holes" (nearly holes) on its tail fin. I keep it in a 5 gallon tank, temperature at 78 deg. constant. When I noticed the holes i began changing the water everyday and added aquarium salt to the conditioned water. the holes disappeared and i seemed to have a healthy betta. But the other day i noticed it had a green-brown patch on its tail fin (the previous night it seemed to perfectly fine). Later that evening i was watching my betta and saw it getting trapped among the leaves of one of my silk plants; i rescued it and it went about its business; i also removed that particular silk plant. The next day I noticed a rip in its tail fin where the green-brown patch used to be. The patch is now not visible. My fish is active, has a good appetite and gets excited when i hang around the tank. Any sugeestions or advice as to what the green-brown patch could be? and is there any cause for worry?
