My Betta Fish Doesn T Flare

It is a name that really suits these particular fish.

My betta fish doesn t flare. But he d sooner swim away and hide from another male a mirror or a teasing finger. Bettas are sometimes known as siamese fighting fish this name is not just a creative work of language. He use to flare a little bit but not as much as my old betta.

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. Don t judge him too harshly on that. He is very passive mellow and friendly.

My betta fish doesn t flare his gills at me. Why do betta fish flare. When two male bettas see one another they flare up.

Last night when i did the 25 change i decided to clean the gravel be because i saw poop fly out when i poured water in. I was researching symbolism and whatnot and learned something new about them and then started researching how to take care of them. He s in a 3 5 gallon tank heated and filtered and otherwise a normal betta just never flares.

First i love the name of your betta. I ve tried a ton of things just to see if he will but nope. Nah my betta pulpul doesn t even flare to the male right next door.

Your betta doesn t know the difference between his reflection and another fish. This thread is archived. The female is consistent with threat attempting to scare off the male.
