I had my betta for about 4 months now. He has always been somewhat active, but I switched to a new larger tank about 2 months ago and most of the time he has been hiding or just floating around. In other words, he is not active at all. I am getting a little concerned about him. He is eating but just floats at the top. From time to time he will swim a bit but he is not very active. The fins look fine. I don't see tail rot or any other kind of issues.
I've been doing some reading and bettas should not be doing that all the time.
The tank is 35 gal bow aquarium (see attached) I have the tank filled halfway. The temperature is set to 75F. I do have a handful (6) cory-dorys and that's it. I do not have numbers for my tank chemistry, I am getting a kit tomorrow.
What are things that I need to look for? What are things that I can do? What are the ideal chemistry numbers?
I sit recommended moving him to another tank? I was thinking of switching him to a tall tank. The tall tank is about 20 gal tall and I was thinking of keeping him by himself. Is that advisable?
