Oh gosh, I know that look, especially true since I uncover them at the crack of noon. "Are you going to feed me?" *half-hearted food dance* "No? THEN WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP SO EARLY??!" *flounce*
Yea... Riddles pritty lazy o.o He likes laying in the cave on the gravel there, or on the fake leaf plants or even inside his pirate ship. Lazy fish lol, though he does look kinda cute when doing so? >X)
yeah hes upp at the top of the tank now and he seems to have found a spot in the back of the tank that he likes down between the lift tube for the filter and the heater. I need to get an adjustment valve to turn down the flow a bit on the airpump Im pretty sure its too strong and is p@ssing him offlollollolOnce I know that this tank is good to go I'm ging to try and find somewhere to fit this tank and put the ten where this one is...Ive got the bug now
Speaking of resting, I have this 'betta leaf' I bought from the petstore when I first got riddle. I wasn't sure if anyone else had this? Its simply a smooth rubber like material shaped in a leaf with a suction cup on the end. You attatch it to the glass near the top of the tank and hopefully they'll like laying on it? I placed it in for the first few weeks and saw no results. Then again, it told me to feed him 'over' the leaf so to show him it was there...
yeah there is a thread about those on here. It's supported by a piece of metal that is not sealed. Seems that other people were highly disappointed with it and felt that it endangered their fish.
Once I found Pickle sleeping one one of my wide-leafed plants near the surface of the tank.
I totally thought he was dead,
but It turns out they do that all the time in the wild XD
I have a fish that will sleep under indian almond leaves that have fallen to the bottom of the tank, I freak out when I turn on the light's. Im like where is he, and then he come's out from under the leaf.
Then this other betta will sleep on a java fern leaf. I will walk in and he is just laying on the leaf. They sleep alright....
yeah i guess Fanugy fell asleep just below the surface think i might try to pick a taller plant or a log or something that floats. for right now he just floats at the surface with his top fin just below the water.
my jasper used to sleep everynight in his coral rock, in the cave or curled up in the shell
Charlie still sleeps behind the filter
and jet didn't sleep for a few weeks but now he floats motionlesly
Mine does too, I have a piece of lava rock in the tank that has a hole in the middle. At night he sits in that hole, pokes his head out, and falls a sleep :-D Looks like a mini moray eel poking his head out of a piece of reef, it's awesome!
