Is this normal?

Is it normal for brown kuhli loaches to swim in circles against the glass for HOURS?

The water is in pretty much perfect condition for them but he really just loves going in circles. I have 3 other loaches that don’t do it at all lol he’s the only one who does it.

I have TONS of plants and hiding spots for them and haven’t changed the water recently as it’s not needed yet.

I made sure to do ammonia, PH, nitrite and nitrate tests and all is good.

Is it normal for them?

Help with lighting!

I have a 55g tank and just got new plants that need high lighting.
I currently have an Aqueon optibright but after some research I’ve found it isn’t the best for plants that need high light.

I’m also looking for something no more than $70 if that’s possible!!

TIA

Help!

I am pretty new to fishkeeping so please be kind as I am wanting to learn and do better!!

Does anyone know what’s up with my fish?
I am not sure if it’s over feeding or something else but my Congo tetras, bloodfin tetras and zebra danios all have pretty bloated looking belly’s.
None of my Cory’s or loaches are looking like this so I’m hoping it may just be from over feeding and I can cut down on it rather than a disease.

Thank you in advance!!!

Need some suggestions!

I am pretty new to the fish tank hobby so please note that lmfao

I have a 55 gallon tank and not sure what to plant in it.
I definitely need the plants to be beginner friendly as I’ve never had a planted tank before.
As you can see, the only fish I have right now is one lonely neon tetra from my old tank.
Any suggestions on what I should get based on my substrate?
