I recently bought a betta fish along with a 10 gallon tank. The tank has been sitting for about a month before he was added. The temp is at about 78. My only concern is he seems to be very slow and not move very much. He either rests at the bottom, has his mouth touching the top, hides behind the water heater, or behind the plants, not much really active swimming. Just want to make sure he isn’t sick or getting sick.

    Forgot to add that we have only had him less than 24 hours still. I haven’t seen him eat yet either

  2. Do you have a testing kit? What are the parameters? Did you actually do anything to cycle the tank?
