Looks like he's losing scales. Is there anything sharp that he can hurt himself on? The pictures are a bit blurry but does it look like his scales are pineconing to you?

Hi I'm also from Ontario. You may want to add a heater for the betta because it's getting colder at night already.

Both options are overstocked and there's no guarantee that the betta will want tankmates.

Black neons are pretty forgiving, I wouldn't do more than 6 Or Glowlight tetras are fairly easy, you could probably do about 8 Or Cardinal tetras, they're more hardy than regular neon tetras but may still be a gamble on how healthy they are. Again 6 max.

A small school of tetras and some corydoras would work. If you dont want corydoras, mystery snails or nerite snails are great. Shrimp may get eaten by fish, amano shrimp are the safest but don't breed in freshwater. If you dont have a heater some minnows or danios are good fish. There are...

You only want 1 fish no tankmates right? I've kept both male and female bettas and I find the females have a better personality. Like tmaier said pea puffers too but they are small. Female mollies are also friendly and they get bigger than a betta at 3-4" A gourami would work as well A (female)...

Hi, welcome to the site

Welcome back to the hobby.

Yes I saw the spot the first time , no I don't know what the spot is, but yes I would be worried about it. It could be an injury to the shell

Just like freshwater, the bigger the tank the easier it will be to keep stable. Make sure you research the adult size of the fish because some saltwater fish get huge. It's also easier to accidentally overstock a saltwater tank. You have to account for less oxygen. Corals are extremely picky so...

I don't know what it is but yes.

How big is your tank? How many tetras do you have? Do you know your water parameters? What is your water change schedule? Yes fins can regrow if the water conditions are good. Add a bit of aquarium salt or stress coat will help.

Glo light tetras are schooling fish. You'll need about 6 fir them to feel comfortable and will have a better chance of them breeding. I think tetras are not easy to breed but it may vary depending on the species.

How big is your tank? Does it have a lid? What is the hiding spot situation like? Are they in the filter?

You can add to the skirt tetra school with white skirt tetras or the glofish version. Yes they will school together. Or A trio of honey gourami Or a single dwarf gourami
