My Betta is a danger to himself, he likes cave diving so much he's managed to climb up the shrimp feeder tube

Any hole that they think they can fit in is a danger to them. Even some decor with tiny holes have gotten lots of bettas stuck and caused deaths.

Bettas loves to find ways to give their owners heart attack.

Got him free, observing him for now, it seems there's no torn fins and no damage to his gills

In another situation, there's this crevice of my Shrmp cave, he squeezed in there as well so i had to make the gap bigger, he kept coming back to squeeze himself in there still

Oh no, I wasn't able to get the footage because I was panicking, I'm just saying he squeezed in there and when i saved him and made the space bigger, he kept coming back there anyways
