When a female fish (varies) according to type, species, genus and so on is pregnant and then has finally lain eggs, it has grown depressingly weak. Such sophisticated problems tend to make it eat the baby or in some cases babies for energy and also for calmness and calamity.

Why does your male betta fish chase your female betta fish after she has had babies?

The male will protect, tend, and clean the eggs after they have been laid. It's best to remove the female right after mating and the male after the babies are free swimming (3 or so days). The female will die if she is left in there and you could risk loosing your babies. Also after the baby's have hatched remove them from harm of the female or male. They will both tend to eat the fry's, or baby's.


What can eat a fish?

Fish in aquariums eat fish food found in any pet or fish store. Fish in the wild mostly eat smaller fish and small particles in the water. Some types of fish living in aquariums also eat smaller fish. Often, fish will eat their own babies so aquarium owners know they must move babies to a smaller fish bowl or tank to protect the babies from the adults.
