Hello everyone, I got this koi plakat on March 29, he came in cup. During the first week he was glass surfing all over the left side of the tank, never flared at the tank wall, ate fine, and was super interactive. I did have to do water changes every day because I added in a snail, little did I know it like...died on the way home or something. So when I took him out I had a little ammonia but that has settled. I moved him to my bedroom on Thursday or Friday. He's stopped glass surfing on the left side as much but now does it on the front. He's still eating fine, still interactive. I've only had a halfmoon before this, so I'm used to slow moving fish that rest quite a bit. Is this normal for a plakat?
It's a 20 gallon long, two nerite snails (got another one, he's very alive lol), and some java fern. I'm currently seeding a bigger sponge for this filter but I still have enough of the old bacteria to keep the cycle. My parameters yesterday were: Nitrite-0 Nitrate-5 Ammonia-0 I did a water change after taking those tests yesterday.

Any ideas? I've tried adding some old silk plants I had from the last betta to this tank but it didn't really do anything when he was glass surfing on the left side, I have my bedroom lamp on a timer so it turns on when his tank light does so he doesn't have a reflection, and even with the tank light off he still does it.
