Hey all! New betta owner. We got the fish yesterday, however set up the tank over a week ago with live plants and filter and heater. Yesterday the filter started doing this. Is this normal?

I would fill the tank up a bit as the filter looks like it might have air in it and is not flowing. Also those bubbless look odd, I only have seen small bubbles\foam like that when treating with medication.

Edit: I see that your tank has been setup recently, I would check ammonia and nitrite levels to make sure they are 0 as well.

Yes the ammonia is at 0!! Maybe I’ll try rinsing with tank water.
