Is it likely that a Betta fish will live after it jumped out of its tank and got hurt pretty badly?
If he was still moist when you found him, then yes, because Bettas can survive out of water much easier then other fish (because of their labyrinth organ) and as long as they're still wet, they have a pretty good change of recovering.
Immediately use aquarium salt (1/2 teaspoon per gallon) to prevent infections and raise the temperature to about 84 F to help his immune system. Keep a careful eye on him, and if he seems to develop any signs of other diseases (i.e. fungus) treat him with the appropriate medication. It may take a while for him to fully recover though.
Just a side note: a proper betta tank or bowl should have a breathable lid as bettas are known to be jumpers. Also, make sure your betta is not trying to jump his tank/bowl for a reason (like dirty water, cold water).
--------------------------------
It is not very likely but it still could have a chance of living. I sugest u get a lid for your tank and keep a close eye on him/her. It also depends on how bad it is hurt weather it is scratches deep cuts or just some scales missing. If you know it is not going to live I sugest putting it down in a humane manner of putting club soda in a bowl with a lid (this will anestesies the fish so it will not feel any pain), next I would put the fish in the bowl put the lid on and put it in the freezer over night and get rid of it as soon as possible in the morning. I still have a weather laoch in my freezer because it got attacked by a crawdad and it had no fins and was bleeding it was one of my first fish and it meant alot to me and I had a hard time putting it down, but as long as I am alive i will have it in a freezer were ever i live.
Please do not put your fish in club soda, then in the freezer! That can't be a pleasant way to go for anyone. My male Betta Bruce jumped out of his 3 gallon tank and I found him on the carpet. I thought he was dead when I first saw him, he was starting to dry out, his fins were starting to clamp together and he had carpet fuzz on him (poor guy). He was carefully picked up, then started moving. He was put back into his tank and I added some "slime coat" to his water to help protect his scales, help him heal and aid with his stress. That was about a year ago and he is still alive today. It took a few days for the carpet fuzz to fall off (just let it natrually fall off) and his fins are still stightly clamped, but he's just fine. Aquarium salt could also helpful with preventing infection (as the person above mentioned 1/2 teaspoon per gallon).
some people have more success with epsome salt. See bettafish.com for more information, or put a post in the betta fish emergencies forum for a prompt reply from betta fish experts.
answer 2 by LipRings:mine female betta did she layed there for prob 2-3 hours i didnt do anything fr her shes fine now
The sad answer is humans. Due to over fishing the deep sea, we kill many of these unusual creatures. There are no more known predators. The Blob fish lives in the waters of Australia and Tasmania at great depths, almost 2,000 feet! These creatures are likely to become extinct with the way we are treating them.
A group of fish that swim together is known as a school of fish, sort of like a pod of dolphins, or a flock of geese. I hope that answers your question, and if not, I hope you find the answer to this and all of your questions. Pro-life forever!

What is the behavioral adaptations of a stargazer fish?
Several come readily to mind:
Stargazers are equipped with two poisonous spines behind their pectoral fins, the venomousness of which varies from painful to potentially fatal (based on some reports).
An electric organ behind its eyes can produce sufficient voltage to shock attackers or prey, incapacitating them and providing the stargazer an easy meal.
Its eyes are upturned and situated at the top of its head, allowing it to keep a lookout for predators or prey while the rest of its body is buried in sand or mud at the bottom of the ocean. On this note, it also possesses a spotted camouflage pattern on its back, which helps it blend into the substrate; and a massive, nearly vertical mouth, which assists it when ambushing prey from below. It does so by rapidly opening its mouth and throat, creating a vacuum effect and sucking in the unlucky organism. This burrowing tendency may itself be regarded as an adaptation.
Bigger reef fish such as sharks eat the humphead wrasse. The average length of the humphead wrasse is 24 inches, though they can grow up to 90 inches.
What do amphibians have that fish doesn't?
Amphibians can live in water or land environments, as long as the land environment is moist enough for them, while fish can only live in the water. Their gills are specifically designed to filter oxygen from the water.

What would fish look like if they belong to class Agnatha?

How does the puffer fish hunt its food?
Like many auks, puffins eat both fish and zooplankton, but feed their chicks primarily with small marine fish several times a day. The prey species of the Atlantic Puffin include the sandeel, herring and capelin.[15][16] The puffins are distinct in their ability to hold several (sometimes over a dozen) small fish at a time, crosswise in their bill, rather than regurgitating swallowed fish. This allows them to take longer foraging trips, since they can come back with more food energy for their chick than a bird that can only carry one fish at a time. In August, children from Iceland walk around the neighbourhood with boxes to help puffins that land in dangerous spots.

Do angler fishes protect itself from predators?
Larger fish, water birds, alligators etc will all eat an Angelfish if they can catch one. They are however very well camoflaged and most of the time they remain amongst the reed beds, so they are well hidden and well protected from attack.
What do fish look like when they're sleeping?
a fish, since it is in the water, and has no eyelids, would float underwater in place, with its eyes open. this is unlike the shark, who needs to constantly keep swimming to stay up in the water because it does not have air bladders to keep it up. if the shark were to stop swimming, it would immediately sink to the bottom. thank you very much for reading my answer.
The term refers to a whole bunch of types of birds--like the Laughing-thrush, the Rock-thrush, the Quail-thrush, the Thrush Nightingale, and even the Thrush Babbler, to name but a few.
In addition, a yeasty fungal infection of the mouth occurring most often in babies or people with HIV or otherwise compromised immune systems is also called thrush.
Symbiotic relationship between wrasse fish and black sea bass?
This relationship is defined as mutualism, meaning both parties benefit mutually from the relationship. In this example, the wrasse cleans the bass, and the wrasse gets food. The bacteria is gone from the skin of the sea bass, and the cleaner wrasse has food. The relationship clearly benefits both parties.
Sharks and crocodiles are unable to stick out their tongues ad they do not have a "web" like us humans do. Therefore they are unable to to so. Their tounges are purely tissue, with taste buds that are not as strong as ours on it.
Hope i have helped! :) (:
