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.

Is my beta fish dead?

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.


How do you save my betta fish if it is floating on its side?

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

Why does my betta tank get a film on top and how can I prevent it from forming?

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.


Is your betta sick if he lies on the bottom of the tank but still moves a little?

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).
