Male Betta making sound2007-11-24 23:38:55

it sounds like a bunch of clicks. At first i though he was tapping the bowl's wall but I just saw him do it. He's making like he's chewing something. This is the first time i've seen/heard of this. Is this common?

Answers:

He could be talking to attract a mate or making warning noises.

Yeah it is really common.I think it helps them to swallow

I've seen Betas do lots of amazing things. I wouldnt worry - unless he starts telling you how to vote. If there's one thing I cant stand is a fish giving out bad advice.

my betta fish makes the same sound all the time and its still alive so i think that it is normal because my fish is really healthy

I didn't know what the sound was at first till I plunked a chair down in front of his tank, sat there for 30 minutes, and saw him make the clicking noise. It looks like he's flexing his gillplates, then suddenly 'snaps' or 'clicks' it shut quickly. He isn't yawning though, cuz he doesn't open his mouth to do it. Maybe he's just stretching.

He'll be fine. I doubt it has to do with mating, becuz bettas kill first, then ask questions. ;)
