Beta question? - June 15th 2011, 04:28 PM

My brother got himself a beta fish. He loves it, but he noticed it always goes to the surface, sticks his head out of water and goes back to doing whatever fish do every half hour or so. Why does the fish do this?

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure beta fish breathe oxygen like that.


"'Colie, you should never be surprised when people treat you with respect. You should expect it.'
I shook my head. 'You don't know--' I began. But, as usual, she didn't let me finish.
'Yes,' she said simply, 'I do know. I've watched you, Colie. You walk around like a dog waiting to be kicked. And when someone does, you pout and cry like you didn't deserve it.'
'No one deserves to be kicked,' I said.
'I disagree,' she said flatly. 'You do if you don't think you're worth any better...'"

TranquilChoas: See, I thought that might be it, but my dad figured he was searching for food, my brother was worried the fish kept floating to the top unintentionally because he's "Broken".

All fish do that. It can be descibed as 'drinking' air, like we drink water. Nothings werong with him. If he was looking for food, he would root around at the bottom of the tank/bowl. I kept a beta fish alive for... a while.
