Well, it means they are either hungry or their water needs to be cleaned.
Different species of fish live at different levels of the water. So eather you have all top-dwellers, you don't have airation, you have only anabantois (bad spelling), or you have very poor water quality.
Fish do not get fat. They do not over eat and they always exercise if they are kept correctly. It is insufficient swim space and bad water care/hygene that usually kills fish in aquaria.
The duration of The Big Bad Swim is 1.55 hours.
The water that they swim in is very dirty. Hazardous water may contain dangerous chemicals and other waste products. It has a lot of germs and bacteria. They also swim in their own pee and poop. All of the nasty odor builds up on the fish. It gets trapped inside of their fins and scales. People often say that, "Fish doesn't smell when it's fresh." That is not true, this is the major factored caused by the condition of the water that they are living and swimming in. The fish will start to smell bad if they are left out of the water for more than 12 hours. This is because the bacteria and odor on the fish is decaying which will create an unpleasant smell on the fish. Fishes caught in canals, swamps, reservoirs and sloughs often smell bad. Fishes caught in rivers, lakes and oceans shouldn't smell or smell bad unless if they swam or were transferred from the following locations above. If you plan to cook and eat the fish, make sure you wash and clean the fish good!
It is okay for them to swim in saltwater because dogs swim at the beach all the time. But, you should clean them off with fresh water because they have salt all over their bodies just like how you take a bath after being at the beach.
No it's not a bad thing, as long as the filter is not too strong. If the filter is too strong it could make it difficult for the fish to swim around. It is also not usually necessary to use a filter with a betta, as long as the water is changed about once weekly. A filter would probably lengthen this time, but would NOT eliminate it.

Not at all. It is ideal to feed a fish once a day.
No fish have a bad memory. They all have to have at least a reasonable memory to be able to survive from day to day.
You must give time for your muscles to rebuild. This is called tapering.
All fish meat is bad for gout. however fish oil capsules are said to be helpful.
