Betta fish almost dead?

Question

I have two betta fish a girl and a boy. I am just asking if the boy actes dead when he is making the bubble nest because he is like that rigth now. Its an emergency please answer this.!!!!!

Answer 1

Generally males, and females should not be kept together. (In fact in even females will fight each other at least initially. ) I've heard of males stunning and/or injuring themselves during mating or attacking a female. One of my females beat up one of my males once. (To this day she was the most aggressive betta male or female I've ever owned.) Personally I'd separate them. At best they will mate, and produce 100+ eggs, and then the male will attempt to drive the female away. (Which tends to be lethal in a tank.) Or they will kill each other.

The only people I know who have mixed sex tanks are breeders who raised them together from birth. Just realize that the betta in these tank were the most mild mannered of an entire spawning. These are large tanks with lots of cover. Even then these tank are prone to dissolve into an all out cage match if a betta is added or removed.

Answer 2

Are they in the same tank right now? Were you breeding them? If so, then the male is probably dead. When breeding betas your supposed to monitor them while you do. They need to be seperated until its time for them to be bred.
Step1 - make sure female is ready ( she will develope an egg sack)
Step2 - put male in & watch ( male will wrap himself around her)-their mating, its ok
Step3 - remove male right after finished or female will kill him.
Thats it. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

please dont buy betta fish they are confined to dirty bowls and vases. These tiny glass enclosures are hardly acceptable homes for bettas, who, in nature, swim in large ponds and streams. Sadly, many people buy betta fish because they think that they can “save them.” What they don’t realize is that this just creates a demand for them, so stores will just keep buying more and more fish, condemning them to miserable lives as a trinket or accessory in someone’s home. heres a site about them
