Betta Not Very Active
Today at petco i bought my first betta fish.
Betta not very active. He was active in his cup had vibrant colors and beautiful full fins not torn or nibbled on. This works for my betta fish. If the water becomes too cold then your betta is more likely to become lethargic and just lay on the bottom of his tank.
Since bettas have a very small bioload changing 2 cups kept the toxins we test nitrite and ammonia down but allowed the water to get depleted and allowed the level of things that we do not test for to rise over time. He seemed very healthy. You can try to take away some of the water and add in some warm water not hot water.
If the water is too cold it will stay at the bottom of the tank not moving. If it is too hot it will move around more active than before. 2 40 0 05 or 5 40 x 0 3 30 12 40 x 0 2 8.
Then you may see your fish starting to be active. Betta fish is not active. This is known as marbling and happens in most betta splendens.
I recently cleaned his tank fully and he seemed good after that. Don t fret if your betta is changing colors. Why is my betta not very active.
Temperature shock is very common in betta tanks that don t have heaters. In the past few days i have been preparing my tank. I have a betta fish fighter fish he is not active at all he just lays down at the bottom of the tank and is not able to swim well.
