I just bought a Betta fish last night. He is in a 2.5 gallon tank (alone) with gravel, several plants, and water that has been left out for several days (apparently this is what you're supposed to do to "age" water when working with a new aquarium). He usually acts fairly calm and enjoys hiding under one of the bigger plants. However, sometimes he will dart out and start swimming around the tank as fast as he can, thrashing around instead of gliding like I've always seen bettas do, and turning left to right over and over. Also, he goes up to the top of the water and stares at the pellets I drop in, acts like he is going to eat them, then changes his mind and swims away. Is something wrong!? Thanks.
