Hello fam!
Woke up this morning and went to do my morning routine of feeding my betta by going up to her tank, calling her name, “Rem Rem!” And tapping the glass a couple times. Usually she immediately shoots out of wherever she’s hiding and immediately goes up to the feed door in the tank. But today, she didn’t. I did it again and no response. So I looked around the tank and found her face planted in the pebble substrate. I tapped the glass again and she didn’t move. So I put my fingers in the tank and wiggled my fingers next to her which got her attention. She glared at me but did NOT come up for food nor bite my fingers which she typically does whenever they’re in there. She went to the middle of the tank and hunkered back down in the pebbles. Repeat of my actions and she hunkered down again a little farther away.
Her fins are still proudly displayed however, they aren’t clamped. Well. They clamped a little bit after her third relocation which is when I took the pictures.
Needless to say I’ve already done a 50% water change after that and vacuumed the pebbles within an inch of their life. She has a 10 gallon to herself.
She had a case of fin rot a while back that she’s still kinda recovering from.
The only out of the norm thing was last night I saw her sleeping on one of the leaves in her tank and it was sooo freakin cute but I think my face right there scared the poop outta her because she wiggled slightly as if waking up, faced me, and then exploded in a flurry of activity backwards.
Honestly she’s my spiciest fish so if she’s just holding a grudge from last night I wouldn’t be too surprised.
