Yes. Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air thanks to a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles.

∙ 6y agoYes, betta fish have a specialized organ called a labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe oxygen directly from the air. This allows them to survive in oxygen-deficient environments such as stagnant waters. They will often come to the water's surface to take in gulps of air.

∙ 11y agoYes. All fish need oxygen, including Betta fish. But Betta fish, as well as Gouramis are labyrinth fishes that have a structure that allow it to breath straight oxygen from regular air, they can also use there gills as well.
No, it is not safe for cats to eat betta fish. Betta fish contain toxins from their skin that can be harmful to cats if ingested. It is best to keep the two animals separated to ensure their safety.
No, sharks do not breathe air. They have gills that extract oxygen from the water as it flows over them, allowing them to extract oxygen from the water and breathe efficiently in their underwater habitat.
Betta, aka Fighting Fish.
He Revealed He Is Half Betta Fish.
Typically, one human year is thought to be roughly equivalent to five fish years for a betta fish. So, a betta fish that is 2 years old in human years would be around 10 years old in fish years.
Betta fish breathe air....yes... that's right... they breathe air. They breathe air because they have an organ by their gills that is called the Labyrinth's Organ which allows them to breathe air. They breathe air by coming up to the surface of the water. Then they gather air in their mouths and hold their breath underwater.
No, because Bettas can breathe air directly from the surface.
No they breathe from the top of the water like a porpoise
Most fish do... unlike the betta fish they can breathe water and air. Dolphins and whales are an example of ones that breathe only air. Sharks, gold fish and other fish have to breathe water.

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.
A betta does not breathe air all the time, it is a fish with gills that lives in water, and it certainly looks like a fish. However, they do need to have an air space at the top of an aquarium and can survive in a wet tissue. They are fascinating fish, but they are definitely fish.
He's supposed to. Bettas belong to a fish family that has an organ in their heads that allow them to breathe air.
They do breathe air.
There is a large number of different types of fish that have air sacs and can gulp air. These fish species are referred to as "labryinth". The by far most popular Labryinth fish is The betta Splendid or Betta fish.
yes, unless you have a betta then it's fine :) hope I helped :)
I've never counted it but they do breathe pretty fast.
