Oscar Playing Dead

[ReMz]

Just posted this in the NW cichlid section... but since people love their bettas for having personality, i figured this was a good place to post .

My O has recently learned how to play dead when he see's a siphon. He was in this exact position only moving his eyes while I was cleaning tanks in the room for about an hour. Opposite of this, he goes insane when i pick up the red Hikari bag.

Just too funny..... he's such a drama queen.

You really would think something is wrong by these pictures...

Then you see the cause . He's given me quite a laugh tonight

My betta tries to swim into this siphon...... It's like having a sissy German Shepard and a bold Chihuahua

AWWWW! Hahahaha! He's great, what a thing to do! haha

 

[Netty]

Awwww bless him....he doesn't want to get sucked up. He's a gorgeous looking boy though....very handsome even if he's not a hero

 

[Honeythorn]

He reminds me of my dog actually. She doesn't like the hoover and hides between the sofa and the chair

Awww, how adorable! He's a stunner by the way.

What do you think got him doing that? It's silly

haha. they are sometimes called "water dogs"

I don't know what inspired him to start doing that.... but I've tested it a few times, and if that siphon is anywhere near his tank, he dives to the nearest corner and goes pale. 1 minute later, he snaps out of it

All my bettas have always loved siphons and want to see what it is.

Thx for the compliments... I'm rather fond of him
