How can you tell if your betta fish is happy?

Answer 1

There are many ways. Bubble nests say they are happy in there current environment. they will swim around to get your attention and will respond to your voice.

Simple observation is the only way to tell. Bettas are just like all other fish. If they are given proper conditions they should be OK. Proper conditions for a Betta are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (Bettas are slightly more than a 2 inch fish) Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- every tank need to have at least 50% of its water changed every week.. Observe those rules and your Betta will be happy if you also feed him at least 2 times daily.

Answer 2

Yor fish should be active and free from blemishes, white spots or fungal infections on its body. The odd mark or missing scale is not a problem as they grow back quickly. The fish should be swimming freely and not breathing constantly at the water's surface and able to swim up and down in the tank without a problem. The colours should be bright and healthy looking and the fins erect and standing proud. If possible you should watch to see the fish feeding or digging throught the gravel as this is a good indication of a healthy fish.

Answer 3

If your betta is happy, he will most likely build a bubble nest and respond to your voice. He will not stay in one spot for to long and will eat his food. To keep a Betta happy try to keep him in a 2.5 gallon tank at the least and make sure you have live plants and a place for him to hide. Use a water conditioner, most commonly found at any pet store.

Answer 5

you can know if your goldfish is ill by how it behaves. if it sits at the bottom of the tank motionless, you could try buying a machine that makes bubbles (not sure what its called). just go to the pet store and ask the manager. if your fish is floating at the top, its too late and you should give it a proper funeral. some ways to take care of your fish is making sure there isn't too many in there. another way is getting a filter. just make sure to replace the snakelike cloth. =D
