Sparky the betta2007-11-24 23:40:04

My betta fish is a male and i got him 3 weeks ago and up untill last week i read to him i turned on the tv for him and everything i just didnt have the blinds open and last week he started to die down stayed at the top and sat there for 3 hours without moving a bone in his body my mom was hanging up my clothes and opened up my blinds and sparky swam around until i got into the room he use to swim around for me and only me know he only swims around for my mom what is up with that??

Answers:

I think he just liked he light in the room. They don't want to be in the dark all the time. For him being still he was probably asleep. They usually sleep on the bottom of the tank or resting on a plant in the tank. I wouldn't worry about it he probably doesn't know who he is swimming around.

Beta's like to show off ..dont worry.when they r very still like that it does not mean they are not happy.sometimes they are sleeping.your mom could have starlted him too

Who is the one that's feeds the fish the most? That's really all they care about and they can tell who does that the most. I have one that goes up and down on feeding day and if I'm in the room and still don't feed him he will go down hit the barbels come up and keep doing that until I feed him.
