The Betta fish runs away when facing another Betta because its the first time facing another one. Or its just scared of it and doesn't want to fight since its not use to it and its a FIGHTING fish. But once its use to it the other Betta they well start getting up close to each other face to face and start ripping out each others fins out and basically trying to kill each other chasing each other around.

Why are betta fish fighting fish?
Answer Male Bettas will fight over territory. They will kill each other if kept together! their techniuqe of fighting is quite strange, what he does is open his mouthand ram into the foe and bite of his fin, eventualy once the foe is tired he will float to the ground and the winner will eat parts of the loser.
If your betta fish has babies will the male betta fish eat them?
yes after mating a female will be tired and hungry and if the male does not run her away she may eat the eggs for energy.
Will crayfish eat Betta fish food?
You probably know by now, but anyway. Most crayfish will eat just about anything, but will suffer from an unbalanced diet in the long run. Betta food will have the proteins they need, but not the minerals.
Can you keep Betta fish with Neon Tetra fish?
You can put at least 5 neon tetras with Betta's because neon tetras need to be in a school. If you only put 1-3 neon tetras, then they will probably be eaten by the Betta because you won't have enough neon tetras to be in a school. The purpose for a school is to protect themselves from predators with a group and if you only have 1-3 neon tetras, then they will hide and get really stressed out. So, get at least 5 neon tetras and another important thing is, get a big enough tank for your Betta and neon tetra. That is, because, as you know, Betta fish are territorial and need their own territory and if the neon tetras enter their territory (if the tank is small), then the Betta will probably attack (that is only if you don't have enough neon tetras and not a big enough tank). So, it is important to get at least a 10- 15 gallon tank and get at least 5 neon tetras for 1 Betta fish. 1-3 neon tetras won't work. They will not be in a school and will be stressed out and hide from the Betta. A thing about neon tetras that is interesting and is cool is that, neon tetras bury their eggs in the gravel (Make sure to only have gravel!) if their eggs are not going to hatch. Also eat them.~Thank you, and good luck!~
How do you change the water in the bowl for your betta fish?
How to change your Betta fish's bowlFirst, fill a cup with your fishes water, and then gentle without hurting your Betta, scoop him up with your net, and then put him in the cup. Then, take the plant out of the bowl, and lay it aside on a paper towel or napkin. Afterwards, take a strainer, and pour the water into the strainer over a sink. Then, wash out the pebbles with nontoxic soap and water. Put your pebbles aside for now. After you did that, fill your fish bowl with warm water only for 5 seconds. Then, take your sponge, and dip it in the warm water, take the same nontoxic soap you used for the pebbles, and add a little to the sponge, and then scrub! Until the algae is gone. then, rinse thoroughly until the suds are gone. Afterwards, put your plastic plant in your fish bowl, and then, dump your pebbles into the fish bowl. After that has been completed, stick your index finger into the fish's cup water (without hitting the fish!) and run the sink to the same temperature as the cup water, and fill it all most all the way. Gently, pick your Betta fish up with your net and then place him into his nice, clean home!Note:If you have clearifire for your fish bowl, use as directed.
Do angelfish eat other fish in the same tank?
Mostly, community fish. Angels tend to be a LITTLE on the aggressive side, but are not that aggressive so, I suggest not putting your angels with other aggressive fish, as they will probably fight or kill one another off...
How do you care for baby betta fish?
It's easy!!! feed him every other day, clean his bowl once a week, DO NOT PUT ANOTHER BETTA FISH IN WITH HIM. It's true not to put in another Betta in the same tank, I know that because I once had a male Betta and a female Betta in the same tank, and the male started to eat her! Yes, feed it once a day, and overfeeding your Betta is just like poisoning it. The easiest way to clean the tank is to put a filter in there, but make sure it has a guard-thing on it so your Betta won't swim in and die. I recommend giving your Betta a pinch of whatever you feed it. That should be good for the rest of the day. One more thing, Betta's like small areas. And they don't like to share a tank with any other kind of fish. If you're getting two Betta's, you don't have to get separate tanks. Get a tank or bowl with a divider between it so that the Betta's will only see each other and not attack. Have fun!! Put in a reasonably comfortable fish bowl with pebble or rocks and a plant for the Betta to hide in and no other Betta fish in the tank or any mirrors around that the fish can see his/her reflection (There nickname is Siamese Fighting Fish). Then, have a food supply for your little fella and feed him 2-3 times a day (You can grab Betta bites, etc. at your local pet shop). And change your Betta's fish bowl when algae starts to grow on the glass. To do so, you will need a little fish net, a strainer, a rough sponge, and a cup.

Why do small fish eat apart than when a big fish comes they go back together?
It's a safety in numbers, a natural response to a predator. A small fish by itself gets all the attention of a predatory but put that small fish into a group of other small fish and there is a chance it survives if the predator goes after another fish instead. The greater the numbers in a group, the less likely that one small fish will get eaten. You don't have to out run a lion, you just have to out run your buddy.
Why will the fish run out?
That Makes No Sence.
