What does it mean when my male fighter fish flares its gills at the 2 females fighters?

When betta fish flare their gills, it usually means that they want to show off; either to other fish, or to their owner. Sometimes, if you scare your betta fish, they will flare their gills at you just to let you know that they aren't afraid of you. if your betta fish flares their gills all of the time, you may just have a very aggressive fish.

∙ 15y agoSiamese fighting fish do that to show other fish, humans (or even objects!) that they are big. Maybe he is trying to attract their attention to breed or maybe he is feeling intimidated by something they are doing or something around them. Watch exactly what he is staring at when he flares up. Then, you will be able to figure it out! Natalie01

∙ 15y agoThis is the betta's display. Usually, it means aggression - he will flare (by extending his gill plate and his fins) when he sees another male. He will also display to a female (presenting himself as a worthy mate) and sometimes to objects placed in or near the tank (because he doesn't understand what they are).
