It's just a natural reaction to what he thinks is another male betta. And no it's not bad for him, other than his blood pressure might be a little high]]]]

Sam you say it is in one corner. 99% chance it is his reflection.

Place some tall plants there, this could also make your tank more pleasing and put less stress on him.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
