fighter pretending to be dead

[yorkiejeff]

does anyone elses fighter pretend to be dead? ill come into the front room and he will be just floating or against a leaf, his little front fins not moving and i thin he's dead.thenhe starts swimming again. is it just him sleeping? if it is he is, it's only for about ten minutes at a time. little rat that he is, but very personable.

Yeah they like to rest on things. They get themselves in really odd positions as well .

In the mornings when its still dark, the females in the betta sorority tank, I will catch some of them all sat in the plants together like some weird fishy slumber party
