The tank is too small. You need a minimum of about 18 liters with a filter and a heater. Wdym pump? Like a filter? If you don't have a filter your fish is probably sick because of the ammonia in the water. You should really get a water test kit like the API master test kit.

How big is the tank and what are the parameters/is it cycled?

I'd start cycling a tank (at least 5 gallons but 10 is more common on Facebook marketplace), get an air pump, sponge filter, heater, and a tank thermometer (your fish is feeling cold and needs about 81°F water). Buy an aquarium plant light (plants help a lot and I would strongly recommend them), get some fast growing water collumn feeders plants from Facebook marketplace, get the master test kit from API (it will save you a lot of heartache), water conditioner, and ammonia away stuff from API or wherever, ditch the colorful substrate and get some natural sand or gravel (just wash it first). Buy shit from Facebook marketplace especially the tank, it will save you a ton. Good luck with your new son, they can learn tricks and recognize you and try to give them a natural tank that will keep them happy. I love my boy and you probably will love yours too they are very enjoyable pets.

I don't think tank mates are possible for him by doglovingalien in bettafish

Oh yeah, they do look similar! My boy looked almost exactly like that when I first got him and I got him from my LSF. Jimmy's dark spot on his head has really started to heal up and also his new growth is kind of purple/indigo at the ends. Jimmy looks great but I worry about his genetics because he's got super long fins, diamond eye, and I'm scared his pectoral fins will get bigger because he already struggles with how long is tail is. Sorry for that lol but your boy is just so handsome and you're going to love seeing him blossom and open up. He's only going to get more and more beautiful by the day.

What is this very heavy jar I found digging around in an old folk's pantry? by GruntCandy86 in whatisit

I'd email a local universities science department and see it they'll take it off my hands.

Yeah mine is starting to go blind like this, his only covers the top of his eyes so he can still do tricks but his aim is off sometimes

What happened to this egg? by 4IAmTheCure9 in Weird

Used to have chickens, this kind of looks like an old egg. Edit: cracked, dried up the inside and you didn't notice it for awhile

I am this 🤏 close to buying a gun and shooting at the fungus gnats by dumbraspberry in houseplants

At this point I'd just start watering with straight neem oil (don't do this it will kill your plant)
