My halfmoon, Venus, has been in this 5gallon tank for a little over a month now. He used to dart and swim all around, now he seems to just swim slow and float. He doesnā€™t seem sick, just not as lively as before. Maybe Iā€™m overthinking? Itā€™s just him with two snails. Heā€™s very feisty so Iā€™m hesitant to put any other fish in with him. My plan is to put him in a 10 gallon because I think he needs more room, but that wonā€™t be for probably another month due to time. Water parameters are good: ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrate under 5
In this picture heā€™s at the bottom. He doesnā€™t stay there all the time tho, he just kinda lays on the plants or in his house lol

Most of mine rest more than they swim. I have 2 that are always busy with bubble nests but the others, meh.
