Im new to having a betta fish. Just got him yesterday. He ate when i fed him and was all exploring. But today he's not eating. Just hanging at the corner goes up to the surface comes back down. I have trouble understanding if this behaviour is normal or is this is glass surfing and he's stressed. Im not sure if the flow of the filter is too strong. There's no option to reduce or increase the flow. Also I have tested the water quality and all seems to be in normal condition.
Would be great full if I could have some pointers. Have I done something wrong?

Thats a pretty small tank. Its going to be difficult to keep good water parameters.
Really want to be around 20L. I just got a 75L tank for mine to give him some space to explore.
I love your little orange guy! Where did you get your plants from?
