I have a betta in my 29 gallon community tank. He has always been extremely docile, though active. Over time, though he has no specific symptoms, he has become more and more lethargic. He does not look sick, and it just seems like he is getting old. I have had him for a couple of years and he was fully grown (or very nearly so) when i purchased him.
These days he spends most of the day resting on the java moss or his floating log.he moves from spot to spot ocassionally but thats about it. This has not been a sudden change, just a gradual decrease in energy over the months.
is it normal for bettas to become lethargic at this age (probably over 3 years) Would it be helpful to move him to his own 5 gallon tank where he wouldnt be stressed by the activity of the other fish?
