What on earth is wrong with the bettas this week

by **pippoodle** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 20:35

After my disaster with Midas and Aladar this morning all i keep reading is of bettas - and some other fish - jumping out of their tanks today
Is it a national fish holiday or something - maybe something atmospheric - or something the military are doing lol

you know where submarines etc can make whales and dolphins swim off course - you never know

I just had another one bid for freedom - one of the girls jumped out as soon as i opened the lid to feed the fish - HAVE decided the rest are not getting any food today lol

WTF is wrong with them all - i'm too scared to open the lids of my tanks now

Its very odd ive been reading about jumping bettas too! Actually Angel and rose both jumped out but this was about 4 days ago lol! But still happened, how odd.

Moby, the big dragon HMPK jump out yesterday.....big jump too, all of 2 inches!

blame the military lol

It could be to with a change of season or the full moon, the latest full moon was on 2009 Sep 4th Fri

by **pippoodle** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 21:09

i'm still blaming the military

by Guest Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 21:11

what I'm saying in regards to the season change is that it would make sense (even if its not true) for the bettas to be on the move to find potential mates to breed with before the late fall and winter approaches which is when most bettas will not spawn, until spring time, Thats from experience as mine never spawn during these months. but as for the full moon i could be talking nonsense but who knows if thats fact either lol

by **pippoodle** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 21:14

i know what you were geting at i'm just completely weird today - no dont say not just today

I understand though what you are saying about going to find new spawning grounds etc

its ok, you can join my weirdo club :lol!:

The moon does have a inpact on a lot of things, so there might be something in it Suspect

That is really weird (paranoidely glances at Calcifers tank). No jumping boys, hear me!

by **Vandraco aka Bronzecat** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 21:47

Oh, forgot that yesterday whilst we were doing water changes of the grow out tubs, one female jumped into a neighbours tub :shock:

by **jasminek** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 21:56

LMAO sorry. Van, that sounded so funny! You said jumped in the neighbors tub i just think that sounded FUNNY haha :D xx
This is odd betta behaviour, i feel there alls ending vibes to each other like jump out of the tank and your owners will suspect something LOL

by **Lairewen** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 22:01

There's definitely something in the water.. they're all going nuts! I hope no one looses any more fish!

by **jasminek** Thu 10 Sep 2009 - 22:05

Everyone, keep your tanks covered lol! If not the insurance will cover them! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

i'm too scared to open any of my tanks now lmao - fish had an extra fast day today - wont harm them and will help aid my nerves lol

by **Storm** Fri 11 Sep 2009 - 10:00

I know its not a betta, but my clown loach jumped out the tank yesterday. Was dancing round the living room floor.

by **Assaye** Sat 12 Sep 2009 - 12:24

My shark jumped last night, so it's definitely not just bettas =(

by **Lexi69** Sat 12 Sep 2009 - 14:15

There is definatley something in the air/water!! I left my lid of by accident and when I noticed went to put it back on and the copper boy had jumped over the divider and was battering the poor little HM boy so I now have shredded fins and a very stressed fish!! Not impressed!! Stupid jumping fish. I dont quite know how he has done it as the divider comes out of the water about 3 inches! Super jumping fish!! sunny

by **jasminek** Sun 13 Sep 2009 - 8:59

Ok this isnt a betta but i woke up to find my apple snail on the floor! Snails cant even jump there a lid on the tank apart from at one edge theres a gap thankfully the snails alive but it was so odd how he got there!

by **luke_emma_23** Sun 13 Sep 2009 - 15:26

ive had no jumpers yet, just Jack's building the 'Empire State Building' of bubble nests at the moment, think he's expecting company!!
