What happens if your betta fish is missing?

- Check the tank thoroughly. Look in all the nooks and crannies, including under decorations and behind plants.

- Check the filter intake. Bettas have been known to get sucked into the filter intake, so make sure to turn the filter off and inspect it carefully.

- Check the floor around the tank. Bettas can sometimes jump out of the tank, so look around the area for any signs of your fish.

- Check the lid of the tank. Make sure the lid is securely closed, as bettas can sometimes jump out of open tanks.

- Ask anyone who has been in your home if they have seen your betta fish.

If you still can't find your fish, you can try putting up a "missing fish" poster in your neighborhood or posting a message on social media. You can also contact your local pet store or aquarium society to see if anyone has seen your betta fish.

Here are some tips to help prevent your betta fish from going missing:

- Keep the lid of the tank closed at all times.

- Make sure the tank is not too full of water. Bettas need some air space at the top of the tank to swim and breathe.

- Provide plenty of hiding places in the tank, such as plants and decorations.

- Avoid keeping your betta fish with other fish that are large or aggressive, as they may try to eat your betta fish.

- If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time, ask someone to check on your betta fish and feed it.
