Thanks for posting this information. I just got my fish yesterday and went to go check on him at night and saw him floating at the top of his fish bowl. I thought he had died, but i tapped the glass and he began to swim. Not knowing fish sleep, I thought he was sick or something.

Can fish yawn? I have two girl fish and they seem to get along they dont bang their heads aginst the glass they lay bext to eachother (between the glass) and just act normal does this mean that if i removed the divider they would be alright? Like, not kill eachother?

I thought my Betta Fish was dead so i got the fish net and tapped him he swam away! I was relieved! But know i now he was sleeping. I feel bad for waking him up because I now that I dont like to be woken up when I’m sleeping.

I was panicking over and over because my betta got ich and I was medicating him with malachite green. I thought he was allergic to it or something b/c i would constantly find him burying his head in the stone and lying there. Even when I tapped the tank he wouldn’t budge. He did this probably 5 times today. The first time I thought he was dead so I tried to get him in the net but he freaked out, much like I do when I get woken up, and started swimming around normally again. Good to know he’s just sleeping. I hope I get rid of this ich, I seriously just got him.

Thanxs so much! I though my poor fish was dead! He would go to the top of the tank and start to turn on his side when I tapped the glass he would start swimming again. Now it’s great to know that he was just sleeping!!!!!!! : )

I was making fun of my wife when she told me that our Betta (aka son) was sleeping. She called me out of the bathroom one day and to my surprise, I saw the fish sleeping. Not only did I become a believer, I also wondered if they drink water.

I Love Bubbles and Klaus (there names)
Mine are always so hyper then at night they either float at the top or at the side of the tank or watch movies with me
