In the wild betta fish can quickly become prey to bigger fish so they prefer being in areas with a lot of hiding. The betta was hiding before the guppies were actually in the tank. The log floats at the top of the water so it s a super convenient hiding place for your upper water dwelling fishy friend.

Look for injuries torn fins or signs of disease. So a friend of mine got a beautiful crowntail betta about a week and a half ago. I have just returned from a two week holiday during which time my adult son fed him.

I put new plants in the tank and he moved hiding spots. He s been spending a lot of his time hiding in his plant or under his bridge and she s thinking he seems to be a bit afraid of them. It sounds counterintuitive but if there aren t enough hiding places in your betta s tank then he may end up hiding more often in the same place.

The wild betta does not have all the colors a domesticated one does so just don t let your little buddy know that he isn t quite as good at hiding as his ancestors. He was even racing with them. His one week from cup to tank is not exactly a stunning physical transformation but he went from only hiding in his log and refusing to be seen to the biggest wildest most self assured personality.

If your betta is hiding to escape a strong current in the tank you may want to take steps to reduce the filter flow. I ve owned one betta and that was many years ago so i d love to hear from. The reason this happens is that they don t feel safe.
