*the sound you hear is not the tank- it’s my dad snow blowing
I’ve had my boy for a month now, and he is in a Fluval 9 gallon tank that I’ve had set up for about 2 years now. He swims around the whole tank but loves to just sit on this side and watch me and I’m worried he doesn’t have enough room and wants to move more. Do I need a bigger tank?

Your catfish request your attention
But to answer the question, if I was in your situation all I would do is trim plants
my girl has a whole ten gallons and mostly stays near the left wall. she patrols around the tank a few times a day tho.
9 gallons is enough! maybe he found his favorite spot or he just recognizes you as the ‘food giver’. these guys are excellent beggars
They sometimes tend to pick some favorite spots, so I wouldn’t stress about that.
I disagree with the other comment about trimming the plants for sure. They look good to me, not enough to obstruct swimming
Fluval 34? Those things are super for bettas. All looks fine to me, this might well just be his spot he sits in to watch you.
I have the same tank! I have my beautiful female crowntail in there with a bunch of plants. That tank is fine!
Maybe less plants?! Looks good to me!
mine goes to whichever side im facing. they really like interacting with people unlike most other fish. that and they want some grub!
