it will be sick but if it continues then your betta will die.
A betta fish can last 2 - 5 years if kept in a tank with proper conditions.
Bettas are dumb as rocks. If you put another betta, any other anabantid like a gourami, or any long-finned fish in with a betta, the betta will fight it because he will think it's another betta. If you put a short-finned fish in with your betta, they'll live together peacefully.
Feed your betta fish flakes 2-3 times a day, giving them only as much as they can eat in about 2 minutes. Overfeeding can lead to health problems for your fish.
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
It depends on the type/brand of conditioner, and how much water is the Betta tank can hold.
The recommended feeding instructions for Tetra Betta fish food are to feed your Betta fish 2-3 times a day, giving them only as much food as they can consume within 2-3 minutes. It is important not to overfeed your Betta fish to prevent health issues.
I guess but I don't think the fish would enjoy being in there that much.
A pinch of fish food once a day
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
A betta fish would be much more suited to a 1 gallon tank than a 'variety'. You shouldn't keep much more than one fish per gallon anyway.
Pretty much anything including other fish
Betta fish live in rice paddies in places like Thailand. These paddies are miles long but shallow without much current. So the betta fish slowly developed the labyrinth organ which allows the fish to breathe air from the surface rather then use its gills.
