Betta Fish Doesn T Flare

Bacterial infections will make your fish sick and.

Betta fish doesn t flare. It is a way of making themselves look bigger to defend their territory. It is a name that really suits these particular fish. When two male bettas see one another they flare up.

I have another betta in a three gallon tank with a filter and sometimes i push their tanks together because i ve heard that flaring is actually healthy to bettas. I have a betta in a similar boat as you. Your betta doesn t know the difference between his reflection and another fish.

First i love the name of your betta. Am i the only one whose betta doesn t seem to flare ever. Bettas are sometimes known as siamese fighting fish this name is not just a creative work of language.

My little red veiltail clover goes insane immediately but he will flare up at just about anything. 2 points 4 hours ago. However that does mean that your betta will most likely flare at his reflection constantly which can be very stressful for your pet.

In 6 months he s such a sweetheart tho lol of course we all think the same about ours lol. I ve tried a ton of things just to see if he will but nope. Mine has never flared once.

Don t judge him too harshly on that. He is in a 6 6 gallon tank with rcs and is active as ever but he is quite the sweetheart and just doesn t seem like a fighter hahaha. Stress is bad news for your betta as it weakens his immune system.
