Yes a Betta can go to the bottom of a tank and stay there for quite some considerable time. The length of time the fish would be capable of remaining before surfacing and taking a breath of air would vary depending on various factors including temperature of the water.

How long can you keep a betta fish in a bag in a car?

Well you a betta fish can stay in a bag until you buy a tank for the betta. If you put a betta in a car and it's like 105 degrees out side they can die less than 2 minutes because it's so hot and the water will become hot. If it's like winter they can die too because the waiter will go low and it's not the right temperature. Hope it help you.

What fish can a betta stay with?

" They can't stay with any fish! DON'T TRY IT! Male bettas will kill the other fish and females might too so don't try it just keep your betta by itself and don't worry about them being lonely.

If you want more than one betta fish in your bowl get wo females to live with each other but don't put males together or don't pout any other fish with bettas. thanks, ~LilyLove5
