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?

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.
Others might know more

How many Cherry Barbs do you have and what ratio of males to females?
