my betta fish had two holes when i first got it from pet co. but the next day they were smaller. then the 3rd day that i had it, i found two new holes. they’re in the middle of her bottom fin. (not close to the edge) and also i found a gray lump on her top fin. the water temperature is consistently 79 degrees. theeres nothing in the tank to cut her, its in a water bowl. i change the water every 3 or 4 days and change a cup of it in between. and it eats 8 pellets a day gradually during the day. it doesnt look sick or anything. its active and shows off its fins when i’m near. and it flares up when it sees its reflection and swims around the bowl aggressively. it even makes bubble nests at night. any idea what the holes couuld be coming from? there isnt anything in the tank that it could catch to. the marbles on the bottom are very smooth. and also the gray lump; is it a parasite or something? i tried taking pictures but its too hard and no details show
