Hello friends, I have as of recently acquired a bichir, and have been very happy with my little fish, but have noticed some odd erratic behavior. She has somewhat frequently engaged in glass surfing, and has had multiple random spurts of movement, where she has begun moving very rapidly and erratically, up and down, before grabbing a breath of air and swimming back down to her hide. She is a newcomer to the tank (only had her abt 10 days) but this behavior is somewhat worrying. As i have heard stories of Bichir's that have killed themselves via such haphazard movement.
Haven't done a water test in the past 3 days, last time i checked it was ~9 PPM Nitrates. Probably has risen to ~15 PPM, my filter is doing fine to my knowledge
