Betta Sits On Leaf All Day

At first he would swim around the tank all day and occasionally hangout near his fake plant sea helmet cave.

Betta sits on leaf all day. My one at work he swims all day and rests on plants rarely. He lays on the bottom all the time or he will actually sit on his tail with his head pointing straight up from the bottom. Even if you are not entirely sure what is making your betta sick treating your fish with a medication like melafix over the.

My first course of action would be to check the water with either an api test kit or test strips. Betta fish like most other animals do need rest and will sleep. One day he was swimming around and eating and the next he just sits in one spot all day and isn t very interested in eating although i think he is eating at least a little.

Now a few weeks later he just sits at the tank all day and hasnt eaten. The fish will often find a comfortable place on the bottom of the aquarium where it will lay and take a nap during the night. All my water is good they are fish that some aren t as active for all of them.

It seemed to happen out of the blue. He swims then just chills unless he sees me then he s more active. Natural betta fish medications include.

If the betta is in good colour eating pooping and swimming fine when not resting if he i assume it s male is not too ove. When a betta fish sits on the bottom it in itself does not mean that there is anything wrong. This too is normal behavior and nothing to be concerned about.

He isn t hardly eating at all actually he has only taken two pellets all week. But my water is 80 he s in an 8 gallon. Make fish tank with 2 styrofoam box.
