Betta Keeps Swimming Against Glass

Hi guys i ve had betta fish before and just got another one about 2 weeks ago.

Betta keeps swimming against glass. He is in a 5 5 planted gallon tank 0 ammonia has a fluval filter and a heater that keeps his water around 78 degrees fahrenheit. It s called glass surfing. Or saw a object that she is very curious about but she will be fine as long as she eats her food.

By asap400 2 years ago on general freshwater questions. I don t think it s anything to be concerned about it s unlike the repetitive pacing observed in understimulated zoo animals. As with most fish disease and issues lack of feeding is always cause for concern although the swimming up and down the glass may just be something they would do anyway.

However if it becomes too hot your betta will begin swimming erratically. She swimming against the glass because of the reflection of her own she though that there s another female betta in her territory. He lives in a 6 5 hex tank with a heat and filter.

If anything a fish doing this. And i can say that she is a little bored getting her a tank will be good idea. Betta glass surfing causes prevention.

One type of erratic behavior you might notice is glass surfing. One of the reasons you shouldn t ever keep a betta in a tank smaller than 5 gallons is because of how hard it is to keep it stable. Not sure if this is normal or cause of concern.

We also added four tetras. Betta constantly hugging glass constantly swimming is this good. Is it bad that my betta keeps swimming on the glass.
