He is male and he is not a plakat, but yet he is still small. He is about an inch and a quarter long including his tail. Is this normal? He does not have fin rot. I have a 10 gallon tank that used to be a divided tank that separated him from another betta who died of old age rip. I have a filter, and a moss ball, and I just finally got a water heater. We are new betta owners, we have a female in a 10 litre tank with a bristlenose catfish new addition today.. The betta has been hyper active, swimming along the glass up and down the tank.
We have two different types of live plants in the tank as well. We increased the oxygen in the tank by moving the filter closer to the surface as the bristlenose was staying up near the top of the tank.
Is the betta suppose to be so active? She has no tears in her fins and no white spots. I am a little concerned about my Betta. He seems lazy, hiding constantly, laying at the bottom of the tank, hiding behind his heater.
He eats and sometimes swims but most of the time he is stationary. I feed omega one betta buffet pellets, I think I was over feeding so I cut down to 3 pellets a day and that help him swim normally again. I think a ph test of the water is next. I use neutral regulator ph 7. My betta fish, Martin, is active in the morning. In the late afternoon, he slows down quite a bit and will sleep or rest on heater from dusk till the next morning.
The temperature of the tank is a constant I know this because I have bought three heaters and two thermometers. I am wondering if it gets too cold from him later in the day or is this just normal behavior? Karen, Is this happening after you feed your fish.

Anyway, if I'm still, he's still, resting on his hammock or whatever just watching me. But if I make one move he explodes! He follows my movements all around his tank and dances on the glass.
