Best Answer

Some of the basic things that can stress your Betta fish would be:

- Having other Betta fish in the same tank (they are very aggressive)

- Cool water temperatures (should be 78 on average)

- Water currents (water should be fairly still)

- Removing your Betta fish from tank too often

Among many others. But the biggest one would be having an UNCLEAN TANK. The water should be changed at least once a week to keep your Betta fish happy and healthy.

Reasonable conditions required for a male Betta include at least 2 gallons (3 gallon tank required) of good, clean, well filtered water, kept at a temperature of about 78F, a pH of around 6.8 and a GH of around 150-200ppm. The tank should be planted with both floating and rooted plants and well lit for 12 hours and unlit for 12 hours. (equal night and day). They need to be fed at least once daily and their diet should consist of specialised flakes/pellets for Bettas and at least one feed of live food weekly (more often is good).

Bettas are egg layers. They can not get pregnant. Left alone without a male and a chance to breed, her body will eventually re absorb her ova (eggs) to no ill effects.

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself. But if you add another Betta to your current Betta fish's tank, then they will start a fight because Betta Fish are Siamese fighting fish and if one Betta is in contact of another Betta, the possible reason would be a fight between them two.
