Why does your guppie sit in the gravel?

Guppies may sit in the gravel for several reasons, including seeking shelter, resting, or foraging for food. The gravel provides a safe spot where they can feel secure from potential threats. Additionally, if the water quality is poor or if the fish is stressed, it may spend more time at the bottom. Observing other behaviors and the overall environment can help determine if there’s a more concerning issue at play.
