if it is floating to the top, it means that your betta is sick.
if it swims to the top and stays there, it is a normal behaviour of a betta.
Yes, the top two pairs of ribs (11 and 12) are often called floating ribs because they do not attach to the sternum or cartilage like the other ribs. Instead, they only attach to the vertebrae in the back, giving them a floating or free-floating appearance.
NO!!!!! They should not eat betta fish...but if your cat has then call a vet, and don't get anymore betta Fish!
Some betta kits come with bamboo; it's completely fine
Freshwater crabs can be aggressive and may attack betta fish, especially if they are small. It is not recommended to keep them together in the same bowl to prevent any harm to the betta fish. They have different care requirements and tank setups.
You could put a beta in a 100 gallon aquarium and it would do just fine, so long as it had floating plants to give it safe harbor and quiet places to build it's bubble nests. Beta's don't like a lot of current in the water and they love to hang out near the surface of the tank.
The fish is either too full, or ill
Fish do not normally "float around" they swim. If your fish is floating/sinking then it is probably dead.
nevermind, she died
Is he just floating or like on his side?? if his tail is starting to deteriorate then its probably fin rot
why does my pet betta have holes on his top fin
To determine if your betta fish is dead, observe its movement, breathing, and color. A dead betta fish may be floating at the top of the tank, have no movement, and appear pale or discolored. If you are unsure, gently nudge the fish or tap on the tank to see if it reacts. If there is no response, it is likely that the betta fish has passed away.
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 might be dead but if its moving tht means its alive and it has swim bladder disease
Check this link and I . Basically, it just looks like a load of spit floating in the water (it is, but betta spit.) Some bettas are mouthbrooders, meaning they incubate their eggs in their mouths, like the popular Betta Pugnax.Happy Fishkeeping!I found this link very helpful: http://www.bettatalk.com/how_bettas_spawn.htmAnswer-It is a whole bunch of bubbles at the top of the water. My Betta made a huge bubble nest.
The film on top of your betta tank is likely caused by a buildup of organic waste and oils. To prevent it, you can try increasing surface agitation with a filter or air stone, doing regular water changes, and avoiding overfeeding your betta.
Not nessessarily. Bettas tend to get listless and lazy if you don't change their water often, and if they have no stimulation. Theres a great product out there called a Floating Betta Exercise Mirror that will make your betta think there is another betta in the tank. It can be used to stimulate the fish into more activity. You can find them online, at www.bigalsonline.com (product #25109).
When a betta fish is dying, it may appear lethargic, have difficulty swimming, and its colors may fade. It may also show signs of labored breathing or floating near the surface of the water.
