I have a Cherry Barb hiding under my filter she seems perfectly happy and even earlier today she was swimming about as usual but I just went to check on them and test the water and she’s hiding under the filter every now and then a male will go over to her and she swims away a little bit but always returns to the same spot being new to fish keeping I’m not sure what the behaviour might be?
Cherry Barb
That's a female cherry barb. She may be protecting an area for breeding. I've had mine do the same before with spots near plants, rocks under filters etc.
