I got this betta for close to 2 months, for the earlier part he was very active and moving around exploring the tank and around 2 days ago he became a recluse and chose to hide amongst the porcelain bowls I used to decorate the tank. He would come up for food and swim around but would go into hiding again later. He also has a habit of resting on one of the broad leaves of the artifical water plant I placed in the tank. Is anything wrong with it? He did not swim up and then drop down like an earlier betta I had, he purposely hides or moves very lowly amongst the pebbles in the tank.

Can you give us some more information? What size tank? Is it heated? Filter? Tankmates? Water parameters? What do you feed him?

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

i've been heavy into bettas for over a year now and currently have 7 total. and one thing i have learned, is they get moody and will do that from time to time. and as light bright was asking, those other items can also factor in.

There has to a reason for all of this but a lot more info is required please. All tank perameters feeding etc. A tank photo might also help.
