I've had my betta for almost a week and he's been pretty spastic even since we got him. He's in a planted 5.5 gallon filtered tank that has been set up for ~ 2 months. I acclimated him by floating him in the cup he came in and slowly took out his old water and put in new water (took nearly an hour before I put him in the tank).
I feed him Omega One pellets (he LOVES them) twice a day. He attacks the glass because I think he sees his reflection but he also has spasm "attacks" (see video at bottom of post). I thought the spasms were getting better but this is one of the worst ones I've seen. He's always been paranoid/skittish so I'm not sure if it's stress or he has an infection. Any advice?
Just checked the water params (prior to a ~25% PWC):
Ammonia: 0 - .25 (closer to 0 though)
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 0 - 5
pH: 6.4 (this seems a little low so could this be the issue?)
