How Betta fish mate?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Betta fish, also sometimes known as the Siamese fighting fish<\/a>, is well-known for their aggressive nature and their tendency to defend their territory.<\/p>\n

However, betta fish have a really interesting mating phenomenon.<\/p>\n

When a male betta fish meets a female betta fish, they begin by doing what appears to be their natural habit- fighting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"male<\/a><\/p>\n

After a while, when the male betta fish<\/a> knows that the female betta fish has eggs, the fighting will eventually stop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Both fish will come close and swim around each other, and occasionally they will show signs of shivering.<\/p>\n

After brushing against each other and staying intimately close, the male betta fish will twist its body and wrap around the female fish<\/em><\/strong>, as if it wants to engulf the female fish. In fact, in this step, the male betta fish is trying to squeeze the female fish and at the same time, the male betta fish is trying to extract her eggs and fertilize them.<\/p>\n
