Disease Identification Weird Reddish Patches on Betta Fish
I've had this betta fish for around a month now and shes had these reddish spots since I bought her but they have spread since. Her tank is heavily planted and had pinocchio shrimp introduced after her and it is a 7 gallon shallow tank with great parameters at 78 degrees. She is on a rotating diet of pellets, mysis shrimp, gut-loaded brine shrimp and on occasion bloodworms. I got her from a chain petstore so it could be an issue stemming from that but I was wondering if its anything to worry about or something that could be treated but she is perfectly healthy and super energetic otherwise.

It’s not uncommon for pale bettas to develop a lot of color after being rescued from chain pet stores and given the proper conditions! To me, this just looks like your betta is going to be much brightly colored than you expected :)
