lately i have noticed a change in moods on my boy jasper. he is spending alot of time on the bottom of his tank sulking. i know i havn't been in the greatest of mood lately my self, but this was the first time i noitced him just sitting at the bottem of the tank. he eats fine, and he seems to perk up when i go over and spend some time and his betta neighbors. he doesn't seem to have anything physically wrong with him, nothing on the outside at least to suggest otherwise.
i was thinking of maybe rearrianging all three bettas fish tanks and switch orniments around in fall four tanks just to give them something new to do, but i am working 40 hours and rarely have time to hang out with my bettas.
jasper i think is a little older then both storm and baby rayne. he is larger then the other two and when i first got him he had terrible tail rot which has finally gone away.
do you think its possible he is depressed or do you think something else could be wrong. i am starting to worry of him below are some pictures of my boy.

Does he still flare? What food does he eat? The reason I ask it my betta boy is a sulker, but he is always a bit perkier after a water change and some live food.

(better hide all the ropes and sharp knifes and medication in case he tries to commit suicide laugh.gif kidding)
