When a male betta fish puts the eggs in his mouth, he is engaging in a behavior known as mouthbrooding. This occurs after he fertilizes the eggs, and he will carry them in his mouth to protect them from predators and ensure their safety until they hatch. The male will typically keep the eggs in his mouth for several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the species and environmental conditions, before releasing the fry into the surrounding water. This behavior helps increase the survival rate of the young fish.
