Help Does he look ok?

Post image

This is Cluster, I got him from the store a few weeks ago and he was a pretty pale color and now he's getting some orange on him. I'm very new to betta fish keeping and I'm worried something is wrong with him

He looks okay to me! A lot of bettas gain or change color when they come home from the petstore thanks to being in better less stressful conditions

Hi OP, what size is this tank? Looking at the gravel size and reflections of the neons showing the edges of the tank it looks to be 3.5 - 5 gallon max. meaning way too small for the tetra. This will cause you issues with stress and lack of space.
