They do have a tendency to jump If his water is clean and he's healthy, I'd say he's just being a betta! Can you get a lid, even a temporary or homemade one for his bowl? Something like mesh over the opening and held down? As long as it lets some air through it's fine and will keep him in the bowl.

Well if the water is good and theres a lid, no worries. He'll be fine.

I had the same problem as you when I was 9. So at that time, all my betta fish was unsucessfull.

good good aslong as you have lid and try to do daily changes as there maybe some amonia or something on the water so just keep a close eye

yea he doesnt do it anymore.. so thts good

 

[redi]

well maybe i should test 4 ammonia becuz he's trying to jump alot now

Cut plastic canvas to the shape of the bowl and that should hold him in i have done that on mine and no problems.

 

[redi]

well, i hav a lid alredy

test your ammonia, nitrates and nitrites.

Do you clean your bowl every day? Without a filter, you need to clean the water daily.

Also, what temperature is the water? and what temprature is it at night? Temprature fluctuations could be stressing him.

im going to test tht and i dont hav a thermetor but its probably hot becuz im not there not but where he is, theres a heat wave and theres no ac on im scared 4 him also at nite ....probably............the same or cooler wen im there at nite hotter its confusing
