All kidding aside, if you own a cat, it means the cat got. I have -- no HAD -- 3 Bettas, 2 males and 1 female, each in their own tank. I came home one day to 2 males and no female. Now unless this fishes name was Norval and got a visit from The Cat in the Hat, I doubt my girl grew legs and ran out the door! To this day I have never found her. And, I must say that the cat was in an exceptionally good mood the rest of that day!
Fish owners who have fish in "bowls" need to make sure that the container is secure where they sit. Even a small amount of silicone on the bottom or the "gum like" substance they use for earthquakes so your collectibles don't fall off shelves works quite well.
Also, some kind of screen or mesh covering that the cat can't remove is also a good idea. Sometimes we need to get a little creative with our fish security to maintain that they will be safe when we are home and when we are not.
Sorry about your loss. Yes, they re fish, but are are a part of the family!
If you mean Betta, She won't get the chance to. The male will chase her away and kill her if she is not removed from the tank.
No. She either jumped out and is on the floor somewhere, or possibly stuck in the tank somewhere, but the male did not eat her.
Because Female betta fish lack the parenting instincts males do. Most females have just enough to help the male put the eggs in the nest.
yes after mating a female will be tired and hungry and if the male does not run her away she may eat the eggs for energy.
prity much any fish will eat its eggs if it gets the chance
both fish may eat the fish eggs, so i suggest you place the eggs in a small bowl or glass of water that you fill from the betta's tank. also, female and male bettas can e together. it is just the same gender that fight. So, you can put both bettas together and keep the eggs in the now vagant tank.
When your Betta fish is fasting it means it is not eating, this usually happens after the Betta has bred and it will not eat until all the Betta eggs are hatched.
According to what I have heard, females do sometimes try to eat their eggs after they lay, which results in the male fighting the female off, to protect them. The best way, I suspect, to stop this is to separate the two parents.
I am not certain but here is some information it will probably die but this will usually happen when your male betta fish is caring for the eggs because the betta is scared it might do an accident and eat one of its eggs instead of the betta foods that you give it
yes but do not pick fish that are soooo small like minnows because your betta will EAT HIM UP!
Betta fish do not eat fish.
Yes. The female will start trying to eat the eggs, and the male will attack her to defend them. Take her out as soon as they're done.
Because the female will usually try to eat the eggs. He will fight to protect them from anything, even his mate.
If the guppies are small enough the Betta will eat them.
