Lazy female Bettas?

0

Hi I have recently bought three Betta females. They were imported by the pet shop about a week before (I’m not sure from where). I’m a bit worried because all of them lie on the bottom of the tank all the time. They swim up occasionally for air and food, and the one sometimes chases the others and they swim very fast, but otherwise they just lie there, sort of on their sides. Sometimes they will lie on a plant/on the heater. The one seems to be constipated, I’m not sure, but the others are fine (I think). The pet shop guy told me not to worry, they tend to be lazy, but I’m not sure if this is normal behaviour. One of my theories is that they might’ve been transported in very small bowls. Should I be worried? Two of the females flare at each other now and then, and seem to have a kind of stand
