Hi everyone ,I purchased a tropical tank 5 weeks ago ,took a while to cycle ,I have my own test kit so I would check every week ,anyway ,it finally cycled and I brought some fish yesterday ,2 guppies,bristlenose and a betta (now I know that itās not the best idea to put these together ,however itās not an aggressive betta and everything seems to be fine between them ,no aggressive behaviour)
Now Iāve been observing my betta and he is obsessed with my filter ,he is always below it ,beside it or behind it ,when he goes behind itās such a tight area and he like bends his body and it looks so weird and uncomfortable and this seems to alarm me.Im worried that there is a problem with my anmonia or nitrate
The readings of my ammonia is:0/0.1 ish
The readings of my nitrite is:0.15/0.25ish
None of my guppies or bristlenose have been doing this ,just the betta
Also ,my betta isnāt 100% of the time around the filter ,he does come out and looks amazing and looks fine here and there but some times goes to the filter and does that like 70% of the time.
Also another thing that alarmed me was sometimes when he swims he kind of wiggles his body is this static way ,not sure if thatās normal.
Sorry for the overload of info,hope you can tell me whatās up,thankyou
