What does it mean when a betta fish can move the top part and not the bottom?

Betta fish need to be kept in slightly warmer water, about 80 F. The water on top of the container is often warmer, especially if you have it close to a light source. It may be that the water is too cold.

What happens when your betta fish does not swim and it just lays at the bottom?
It's probably sleeping and if it still doesn't move it is dead!!:(
I have my betta fish for 4 months I notice he does not swim just stays in the bottom?
What's the general environment? If you don't have some source of oxygen the betta fish will try to conserve oxygen and not move around. I suggest putting in elodea.
Should a Betta fish be at the top of the bowl at all times?
No. They move around.
How can you know that a goldfishes asleep?
Betta fish sleep on the bottom of the tank. I've never seen one close its eyes but they will often rest on the bottom when there is no action going on around them. Betta like to be around movement. That is why we have my betta fish in our living room.
What does it mean when your betta fish cant swim strait?
"TRY KNOCKING ON THE TANK IF IT DOES NOT MOVE THEN IT IS DIED OR SLEEP." This is extremely unlikely to be correct. The most probable cause is swim bladder disease which is a common problem in Betta fish. I suggest Googling this. There are a lot of great sites on there with instructions on how to treat this.
Does bettas move a lot?
Betta fishes like any other fish can get stressed by movements. In fact one of the most stressful experiences for a fish is travel from the pet store to a new house. So, depending on the length of the travel, yes, you might be able to take your betta fish. If its a short travel, make sure you double bag and bag again with a bubble wrap and cover it with something dark (so the fish doesn't get stressed by the outside). I don't recommend taking the betta on long distance or on flights. Hope I answered your question. Source: Owner of betta fishes

What games can you play with your betta?
Playing games with fish if very diffucult. The best thing to do with your betta is to put your finger on the fish bowl and move it around to see if your betta will follow it. If she does, that means she is hungry. Feed her. Not hungry? Then just talk to your fish, though I must warn you, they might not be very sympathetic. BUBBLES ROCK!!!! EVEN MY DEAD BETTA FISH (Beta, Troy, and Fin) ROCK!!! EVEN MY DEAD GOLDFISH (Max, Elizabeth, and Liz) ROCK!!!!
Why do Betta fish swim?
For the same reason you walk. To move or go to some other place. They gotta get around some how.
Are Siamese Fighting Fish or Betta Fish dead when their eyelids are white?
It may be, but look for other signs. Does it move at all when you move its tank or bowl? Can you see its gills move? Watch it for a whole hour to see if it moves. If not then it may be dead.
What does it mean when my betta fishes side fins are silver and he doesnt swim a lot?
Bettas are slow retiring fish. They do not move around much normally. Silvery coloured "pectoral fins" are quite common.
