Hi there everyone,
I have a Betta named Charlie who has always been very friendly and responsive to me. When he would see me come up to his bowl, he'd come up to the glass, wiggling back and forth almost looking like he was excited. If I got too close, he'd flare open at me or pose. I keep his bowl clean. I've had him (wife bought from pet store) for about 6 months.
I feed him either Betta bits or freeze-dried bloodworms twice a day, a schedule which he knows (or knew). He always ate quickly jumping out of the water a bit sometimes, and even ate out of my fingers now and then. But suddenly he started acting very distressed when I came up to the tank, darting around and not eating until I left sight. He's very obviously is afraid of me...he never comes up to the glass, never flares at me, just darts about when I approach. He still has all of his bright colour but has stopped building bubble nests.
Any ideas on why the sudden change of temperment?
Thanks!
