Random Violent Behavior?

[SoCalMom]

Wow...

I just fed Alfie and he got all violent!

I put some flakes in there and he just stared at them for a bit. All of a sudden he flared, then TOOK off to the bottom of the tank (never seen him move that fast lol). He attacked the poor shrimp that was innocently picking up old food. After that little display, he shot back to the top of the tank and literally attacked his food. His fins flipped out of the water and everything (water splashed!). Then he swam back and forth flaring at me


I have no idea where that came from or what his deal is lol

hes probably just having a good excerise, practising praying on food? Sometimes one of mine goes a little mad when I feed him, he jumps up at me

 

[SoCalMom]

I don't know what the heck he was doing lol

It was just really weird since I've never seen him do that before lol

They are funny creatures, mine are always doing something to scare me or surprise me. He's probably fine

every single time i open the flap to feed my betta he jumps out the water at me, he's so impatient lol

One of my females does that too...even though I'm feeding her neighbor and not her at the moment. *Sigh* what weird little creatures we adore!
