My planted betta tank featuring a zooming luna. In a properly cycled tank you should change 25 of the water weekly. Without this ammonia levels will quickly build up and poison your fish.

It can be very normal for your fish to have a lively swim session once a day or less often depending on its personality but this behavior can also be a sign of more serious issues if your betta is bumping into the tank wall swimming erratically or swimming in circles or upside down. I m not trying to be rude but betta do require a 5 gallon tank with a filter and a heater. Why is my betta fish zooming around the tank.

A betta that. You should never put your betta in a tank smaller than 5 gallons. You can not set up a proper nitrogen cycle without one.

Well to me a fish that likes to wiggle sounds like a fish that isn t severely sick. Though he does eat his food every day and shows no sign of having a problem with the filter flow. Your betta may have hit his head on the glass or a decoration.

Betta fish needs to be fed once or twice a day so if you re a busy person and can only feed your betta once a day then maybe your betta is just hungry. If you ve been using cleaning products or air fresheners around your tank then some might have got in. In fact i think betta fish should be darting around they re active carnivorous fish and they should be making use of the space available to them.
