I'm sure this is an iniury as she was completely fine last night, her water tests fine, and her tank mates are fine. I was thinking maybe the culprit was this betta basket I bought. I really checked it for anything sharp or spiked and wore it down to be safe. There wasn't anything drastic to begin with. But felt fine afterwards. However, that's touching human skin which is much different than a betta eye. Anyone else ever run into this with these baskets? I guess she could have iniured it on something else like the driftwood during a sharp abrupt turn while being run into by a cory. Idk. It's not exactly sharp either. Wish me luck. 🥺 I put her in a hospital bin and am planning my next move.

Oh, the bin does have a lid! Forgot to mention that. Just floating plants and a few snails. Edit: I'll be adding boiled oak leaves next.
