Hello,

I got a new crown tail betta two days ago and put him in my filtered, heated, and cycled 5 gallon. The tank is lightly planted with java fern, java moss, anubias, and rotola(?). The problem is, Hassium is flaring at EVERYTHING and just stays for the most part by his leaf hammock. He will flare at the glass, plants, people, gravel. I think his reflection might be bothering him. I'm worried that this is stressing him out.

Is this behavior because he isn't used to the tank? Should I be worried about this?

Thanks.
 
Probably nothing to worry about. He have an older Betta that flares at random things all the time.
