I've had my betta 9 weeks now. He's in a 15 litre tank with an Elite mini filter and a 25w heater. He's been resting in some strange places. His first choice was on top of the filter, then after a few weeks he moved to under a leaf. Now he's taken to resting vertically in the narrow space between the filter and heater. The heater has a plastic cage round it but is it safe for him? Should I move them further apart to stop him?
On a different topic, he had us in stitches the other day. I found a small chunk of frozen daphnia. I put it in his tank without thawing it, so it just floated. He came rushing over, flaring at it, then swam round and round it still flaring. As one daphnia at a time broke off, he'd gobble it up then go back to circling and flaring. He only stopped when they all sank!
