	Female Trying To Kill Herself?
bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	i have her in a tank where the water level isn't at the top in a red shaped tank. she goes to the same corner and swims sidways, and then jumps and gets stuck to the glass. (very wierd) she is directly up and stuck the the glass and when i push her off, she will do the same thing over and over. so look at a corner of your tank and imagine a female betta stuck to the glass out of water and facing directly up. i am moving her to a bowl to avoid this problem. just thought i would share.

Try doing some water changes if you havent been doing them that frequently. I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!
