If you know it is a bruise and how the fish got bruised just make sure the fish is looked after properly and it should recover OK. If on the other hand you only "think" the fish is bruised because you can see a red blemish around its stomach area. Then follow the rules below because you are doing something wrong. The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.(A Betta is a 3 inch fish) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs to have 50% of its water replaced every week. The aforementioned are absolute neccessities if you wish to keep fish alive and healthy for any length of time, as is the knowledge of any special requirements for the species of fish you wish to keep. (A Betta needs to be kept at around 78F)
other Betta fish and the bigger fish.
Betta fish do not eat fish.
No betta fish are carnivores.
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.
A betta is a fish of the species Betta, especially Betta splendens, commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish.
There are no fighting fish that come from Japan. I think you are asking about the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). They do naturally have a round stomach almost like a ball. That is their body shape.

Sure we have betta fish in cuba
betta fish are specifically bred for fighting
the betta will eat as much as you give him pretty much. his stomach is the size of his eyeball. if you overfeed your fish it will get sick and die. feed it once or twice a day. as much as he can consume in 3 mins
It's Very simple, the reason your betta is on it's side is because it has this sickness called swim blatter disorder it is a sickness where the fish's stomach is bloated so the air bubble in the stomach is to big and makes the fish float up to the top of the tank. The betta is not in pane I heard from this but it is defiantly annoyed. It happens usually in young bettas that eat to much brine shrimp so check if the food your giving it contains any. If your betta however is a two finned betta its probably because your feeding it too much
No. Betta fish will attack each other no matter the sex.
