Yes. Bettas love to have their little hiding places. Let him settle in and he will start to come out a little more. Always make sure he has a place to hide when he gets stressed or else he will be very miserable.

Betta's personalities are all over the board. Some bettas in large tanks (30+ gallons) thrive while others thrive in small gallon tanks. Give the betta some time to get us to his new surroundings. Also, check out petfish.net great fish forum with an area just on bettas.

Yes, that is very normal. My Male Delta Betta has gravel, a plant, and a rock in his 2.5 gallon tank. He hides and sleeps btween the plant and the rock.

As the others said, he might just be settling in or his personality might be a shy one.
Check that your filter is not creating a strong current - Bettas like still water and don't handle currents well, that could cause him to hide.
Other than that, as long as he's eating and swimming a fair bit he should be fine.

He sees his pondered image interior the temp strip. Making him have faith there is yet another Betta interior the tank - his territory. Mine flares at me to. No enormous deal. lots of the time because of the fact I won't provide in to feeding him extra beneficial or do no longer feed him each and every time i pass as much as his tank. They do consume quickly. They continuously act hungry. Little piglets with fins :) He needs a filter out. and additionally you're meant to alter the water weekly. filter out or no longer, to do away with NitrAtes. and verify he has a 5 gallon it extremely is heated alongside with the filter out. reliable good fortune!

Yep, that would be normal. He's just hiding and being shy because of the recent move. Just give him a few days to settle in.
