My wife is worried about his behavior, we got him around 3 weeks ago. The first weeks he kept swimming 24/7, I think he was getting to know his new territory. Now he chills a lot at literally every place. Mossballs, the bonsai, the bridge, under the bridge, floater roots, stem plants. Whatever there is right next to him. He swims a lot too and watches the shrimp doing shrimp things. Gets fed pellets and live food every day with a skip day once a week. Temperate is around 26-28C, (28 in the morning, 26 in the evening). Nitrites 0, Nitrates 5, PH 7. tank has been cycled for 4 months

That’s happy betta behavior. He’s in heaven, great looking tank.
i’m not much of an expert but i have been told that bettas with bigger fins need to rest their fins more, as it’s the equivalent of us trying to swim with a ballroom dress on. could it be he just needs places to rest from swimming with him big fins?
Oh, yeah. Totally normal, especially with long fins! Amazing work on this tank. Everything sounds perfect & looks absolutely stunning. I’m sure he’s in paradise.
