Lucky indeed. Mine sulks for hours if the water's even 2 degrees off. Bettas, man.

Mine flares at the siphon every time, drama queen. I do 20% weekly but spread it over two days so it's less shocking. Also, match the new water temp to the tank, not just room temp. Learned that the hard way.

Or it's just being dramatic. My torch browned out for a week after I moved a powerhead, then colored right back up. Sometimes they just need to chill.
