My betta goes to the top of my aquarium to breath and my aunt told me that they go to the top of the tank to breath. Are they fish or are they mamals?

Yes pal, you should have got the confirmed, 100% chop choped answer! IT'S A FISH!! And it's Labyrinth, they have evolve to be able to breathe not only through their gill for oxygen-like most fishes- but also direct from the water surface.
Side Note: Sharks are FISH. Whales are Mammals. Some Sharks lay eggs, some live-breeders. But all Whales are live-breeders.

Bettas are fish. They are what you call labyrinth. Which means they breath air to live just like people. You know you should never put two males together. They will fight to the death. They are also called Siamese Fighting Fish.

Your Aunt needs to find her old bio teacher and belt him one. Bettas are a species of fish that can breathe air by using an organ called a labrynth.

Fish, but they have a primitive breathing organ known as the "labyrinth lung" that they use to breathe in surface air. That makes it important to make sure there is a water line in your tank, so he can get to the surface to breathe; in essence, it is possible to drown a betta.

To 081. Sharks are not mammals. They are fish. Some sharks give live birth, others lay eggs. In live-bearing sharks, the older ones still inside the mother shark, will eat the younger ones.

They are fish but of a particular family called labyrinthine fish, so called becauswe of the labyrinth in their head to store and dissipate oxygen that they gulp at the top of the tanks. Other fish in this family are Gouramis.

They're fish.
Mammals are animals that give birth to physical animals. In other words, animals that are born inside a shell are not mammals. Sharks and whales are the only two "fish" (some people consider them fish) to have physical offspring outside of
Fish, turtles, crabs, alligators and snakes are just a few animals that are born in shells.
Mammals include humans, bears, dogs, whales, sharks, rabbits, etc.
