Betta fish will not jump under normal circumstances, but they are likely to jump under uncomfortable environment. For example, when the amount of dissolved oxygen in water decreases, they will jump to the water to breathe fresh air. Because they belong to gill fish and have special auxiliary exhalation organs, they can directly breathe oxygen in the air, so when the dissolved oxygen in the water decreases, they will jump out of the water to breathe.
In addition, poor water quality can cause them to jump. Although they can tolerate a little deviated water quality, if the water quality is too poor, they can't stand jumping.
2. Why don't betta fish jump into the tank1. Adequate oxygen: Hypoxia is one of the main reasons for betta fish jumping into the tank. If breeders want to avoid them jumping into the tank, they must ensure sufficient oxygen in the water where they live. If conditions permit, oxygen pumps can be installed and turned on for several hours every day, so as to ensure that they have sufficient oxygen. If the oxygen pump cannot be installed, you can also choose to change the water every 2 days, which can also effectively increase the oxygen in the water.
2, clean water quality: In the process of feeding, we should also ensure clean and refreshing water quality. It is best to install a filter to slow down the deterioration of water quality. Change water regularly to ensure clean water quality. But don't open the filter too much, otherwise the water flow will affect their normal life.
