A couple of days ago two of my b's have been acting funky. One is just laying on the bottom on the gravel and doesn't move unless I shift the tank, but when I put my female next to the tank he'll get up and start flaring like a mad fish, but other then that he's just clamped to the gravel. My other fish, who's a bit newer, is also laying on the bottom but every once and a while will jet around the tank and knock into the glass (i can actually here him doing it) over and over. What's wrong with them?

Well the first betta it sounds like depression try holding a mirror next to his tank for a few minutes a day. For the second one I have no idea maybe he is retarded LOL... but seriously I have no clue about the second one.

Check the first one and see if he has velvet (like gold dust on his body). You need a bright light to do this. The second one... I have no idea... poor fish.
