all of a sudden my betta is just staying on the bottom of the tank and only coming up for like air from the surface or if i stick my finger in, is he ok? :-(
 
umm he sounds a bit down, try giving him a water change or putting a mirror next to the tank to see if he livens up he could be just depressed
 
thats a good sign his happy, did u put a mirror next to the tank?
 
dont think soo is he moving rapidly or just flaring and showing his fins to the mirror?
 
stewart,

Most bettas don't swim around like guppies or tetras. They are graceful, slow swimmers.

Bettas usually flare to show how tough they are. Like "I'M BIGGER THAN YOU!" kind of attitude.
 
My betta is like that also, I guess just give it time and eventually it will become more active.
