Last night i went to feed my fish when i noticed my betta wasnt swimming about at the top.
I wasnt really surprised at this because he often sits on the bottom or lodges himself in a plant somewhere.
What surprised and slightly worried me was he wasnt there this morning either! He's never been out of sight this long before.
I looked all over the tank top to bottom, left to right and i couldnt see him.
Then i spotted some blue in a plant, so i got my planting tool out and parted the branches then he swam out. Gave me a scare though! Like my loach do when they dont move!
Anyway when my betta swam out he swam straight for the surface and took some air in. I know betta's are labrynthy (spelling?) fish but he has never gone to the surface like that before?!
I was thinking maybe he couldnt get out? he is always swimming past stuff finding somewhere to lodge himself but he's never been in 1 place all night! How long can they go without taking a breath from the surface?
