funny question

Question
Hey Bethany. It doesn't seem to be a serious situation but I am curious, is it
common for a male beta to move the rocks at the bottom of his tank around?
I think CheeZe (my fish) is very healthy. He makes bubble nests regularly, I
change his water about once a week, and I feed him dried bloodworms twice
a day. So I'm just curious if it is common for a fish to move the rocks around
or if it means anything.

Thanks so much!

Answer
Kymberly,

One of my Betta Fish, Squiggles, dig ditches in his rocks. Funny story for you: one night, I was woken up by an odd sound and jumped out of bed scared to death that someone had broken into my house. I turned on the light and looked over @ his tank which sits on my nightstand and saw him shifting around rocks and making a little trench. I stared at him for a second before turning the light back out and falling back into bed.

So yes, some Betta Fish do this. I'm not sure why...but I'm hoping it isn't uncommon or a sign of something or both of us have something we should look into.
