I would be inclined to suggest you turn the air pump off. Bettas do not like or need that kind of disturbance (heaps of rising bubbles) in their tank and it will certainly be doing the fish no good. If you drive a filter with your air pump you will be doing something positive that will benefit the fish. Any food left in the tank must be syphoned out immediately after the 15 minutes you should allow for the fish to eat what you give it. Failure to do this will eventually result in poisoned water and dead fish.

The betta fish that you buy at Walmart or a pet shop are raised in captivity and bred for their long fins and rich colors. The original betta(Betta spendens) came from Siam, now Thailand, where it lives in small ponds. The wild fish is smaller and not as colorful as its domestic counterpart, but just as feisty with others of its kind.

Betta fish live in rice paddies. The misconception that the Betta live in a small amount of water it's whole life has spread wide. A Betta actually only lives in small pools of water during the dry season when it is forced to by receding water levels. Also like many other fish a Betta in captivity would enjoy the protection of almost any aquatic plant.

Who should you talk to if your Betta is aggressive?

A betta, is fish that lives alone in the wild, and likes it that way, your betta is doing what comes naturally to it, if you want to enjoy your betta get a clear bowl or vase, any size will do, put some gravel in it with some live plants an your betta will be very happy, bettas breathe air like we do, so you don't need an air pump,and you only have to change the water when you do not like looking at the alage or dirt on the stones or glass, the betta does not care how dirty or how much alage is on the glass.

Can you put a betta and bottom feders in a tank together?

Yes you can put a Betta and bottom feeders together in the same tank. I have two Chinese algae eaters and one male Betta in a 5gl tank and no one bothers each other. The bottom feeders need plants (preferable LIVE) and rocks or something they can hide under and sleep in themselves. I also have a Betta hammock (fake leave with a suction cup to attache to the side of the tank) that you can get at any pet store. My male Betta loves the hammock! One bottom feeder lives in a live plant and the other bottom feeder lives under a rock.
