Re: Is my betta sleeping too much

Yay, Sashimi's up and moving around now. Thanks so much for all the help and advice, I really appreciate it. I'm not entirely sure what worked, but I'm just glad to see him swimming around and being his usual self.

Re: Is my betta sleeping too much

I picked up a Nutrafin water conditioner - thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I'm still waiting on the water test kit, but I'll get that soon. I'm gonna follow the guide you sent me, happyone, and I'll make sure to get everything sorted out for Sashimi and Escargot.

Re: Is my betta sleeping too much


Hi and welcome to the forum, brisk.

I'm going to take a guess here, assuming your water quality is good - no ammonia or nitrite, and nitrates are under 20ppm - and your fish isn't sick, it's possible Sashimi is experiencing something similar to jet lag.
