Hi all,
I have a active, older Male Betta who is in a 5 galllon tank alone. His tank used to be in my room, and next to the TV, he couldnt see the tv etc, but he saw a lot of movement around the bedroom and seemed to enjoy his spot. I recently decided to move his tank to a different location in my room, but it doesn't have quite the view of the room it had before. Since the relacation he has seemed depressed and less active. Could this be the reason? Do bettas get used to their place and prefer to stay there? His new spot has less noise, but less of a view of the room. Anyone else run into this problem? I am very new to Bettas, but have a heater, tank plants caves etc, and I have had him about a year. I have no issues moving him back. If that is the issue....but do fish really care? Thanks!!
