    Hello, it may be that it does not like or is not used to eating your feed, if it is a live fish bug, betta fish will enjoy eating it very much. Spit bubbles are a characteristic of betta fish, they like to float to the surface, take a breath of air and spit it out. If you look closely, you will also find that there is a film of oil on the surface of the water, which is also dried by betta fish.

    These are all normal phenomena and don't worry. Absorb the oil film with clean toilet paper every few days, and don't block the air and dissolve the water.

    Staying at the bottom of the water may be caused by the water temperature being too low or the fish being hungry and tired, but of course, the betta itself is a quiet fish.

    Note that the tap water should be placed at room temperature for more than two days, and the chlorine in the water should be released before putting in the fish, and the temperature should not differ by more than 3 degrees Celsius, otherwise the fish will die due to sudden changes in the environment.

    Each adult betta fish lives in about ten litres of water.

    It will like to eat the nematodes very much, but you have to feed less each time, so that the nematodes will not be able to eat all and continue to survive in the tank to compete with the fish for oxygen.

    Betta fish like to show off their beauty to their kind, if you only keep one. You can prepare a small mirror for it, it will mistake itself in the mirror for its own kind and open its fins, which can add a little vitality to the boring life.

    Betta fish are easy to raise, and I hope your fish is healthy and beautiful.
