Do Betta Fish Sleep?
Do betta fish sleep? Yes, they do! Betta fish sleep in a state of low metabolism, which means their heart rate and breathing slow down, and they become less active. They may also lose their color and become less responsive to their surroundings. Betta fish typically sleep for 12-14 hours per day, but they may take short naps throughout the day as well. You can help your betta fish sleep by providing a dark and quiet environment for their tank, feeding them a healthy diet, and maintaining a clean tank. If you are concerned that your betta fish is not getting enough sleep, you can consult with a veterinarian or an experienced fishkeeper.
