Do They Usually Like To Lay Down So Much?

[marieukxx]

I've read they like to rest on things and seen hammocks and logs for them but I never experienced it. My new guy loves his tree. He's in and out of it and actually lays down resting on it. He's still now half on hiis side just resting in the tree. I take it it's ok. I guess I have a lazy boy lol.

Probably just a lazy boy! out of my 8 boys only Posidon is lazy, he sleeps in the most stupid possitions, half the time i think he is dead!

Yeah this one is, he's so cute the way he sleeps. Only thing is being the only fish in there it looks like nothing is there. He's always tucked up in the tree somewhere and only comes out for a quick mosey then he's back in his tree. I had visions of my betta swimming away like my girl does. I'm defo gonna ghave to put something else in there with him.

could do the trick, Posidon currently has 2 female guppies with him (temperary) and since has been much more active

Yeah even if he doesn't get more active at least it will look like somethings actually in there lol.

i just got my betta (whiteout lol hes soild white) but he likes to lay on the plants near the heater most of the time im glad thats normal because i was starting to worry bout it

I have one of those floating logs, but the shrimp and snail seem to be in there more than the betta. He sleeps in a little temple thing I have with a hole in it...for some reason I find it so stupidly cute to watch him wake up and be all lazy in the morning.

mine has taken a liking to the little skull we got him, he'll go in and won't come out for hrs we thought we'd lost him til he flicked his tail and it caught my attention but he likes to go in there and i don't know if thats because he's tried and sleeping in there or for someother reason i don't know......

I've got a betta log in with one of my boys and he spends a lot of his time in there looking out at me!

should they (betas) have a set "bedtime" like every night at nine turn off the light?
