Weird betta..

[Sidman24]

So I have a female betta in a tank of her own who enjoys being sucked to the filter. Wondering if you read that right? Yes I said she enjoys being sucked to the filter. She will purposely swim under the filter suction and just lay there. I don't know if she's playing dead or what! But I come up to the tank and she swims away acting all normal. Is she playing or what?? Any other bettas do this!? Haha. I mean I guess I would get bored too... But really?

Mine lay on the gravel and a buddy of mine has one that lays on its plants..... maybe its practicing levitation? lol

Mine used to only do this in low temperatures. Once I realized they need a temperature of around 80 the "laying around" completely stopped.
