I just thought I'd share how my betta sleeps or rests. He almost never perches on top of leaves.

Instead he much prefers wedging himself or tangling himself UNDERNEATH a leaf.

It's very cute, so far his favorite spots are the crook of a pennywort stem with a large flat leaf above, and a curled crypt. wendtii leaf.

My Mercury likes to scare me to death. He likes to sleep by wedging himself between things. He likes to be under the moss ball while also being against the wall of the tank. It's like a little makeshift cave for him, I guess. It doesn't help that he sleeps like a rock so I always have to check on him.

My Betta, Robin has a couple of favourite places where he likes to sleep:

1. Behind the filter tube near the top of the tank in the right hand back corner
2. In the back left hand corner on the gravel underneath lots of leaves
3. With his body resting on the Lilaeopsis grass plant and his nose poking in to it

TyeDye sleeps on his leaf hammock, but not on the leaf part, he balances himself on the little edge of the suction cup and sleeps there.
Mushu sleeps on the bottom next to his sponge filter.
The two boys have complete opposite personalities lol, one sleeps on top the other sleeps on bottom.

Blitz lately has been kind of wedging himself between two leaves so he doesn't float around a whole lot/feels more secure while he's sleeping. Before though he just propped himself up on a leaf and would kind of drift sideways while he slept, it scared me at first to see him like that!
