Ram Acting Weird.

[HD65]

good morning all.

I have a long finned ram thats acting a bit weird, he keeps flicking against the same plant but not against anything else in the tank. Its been going on for 3 days. I have 4 of them in the tank and only the one is doing this. There are no spots on him or any of the other fish and he seems ok in himself apart from this. I have 3 zebra loaches 4 mollies 6 plattys and 2 dwarf gouramis and all seem fine. I have bought treatments for white spot and fungal infections just in case but dont want to use them if its not really needed. Anyone have any ideas.
thanks.

What is your water change regime?

Terry.

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40 ( the tap water is 30 ppm)
PH 7.6

these readings have been consistent over the last 4 weeks.

Tank is 160 litres 3ft long.

Last water change was 2 days ago 25% and treated with tap safe before being added to tank. This is done on a weekly basis.

I have an external filter.

The tank was cycled.
