Where Do Bettas Poop From? o.o

[danifacetastic]

I've occasionally seen what looks like poop hanging off my betta but the location doesn't make sense. Will it fall off? Where on the betta do they poop from?

The "betta butt" is located in between their ventral fins which is just before their bottom fin. Yes it will fall off if he's in regular health.

They must do all this during the day because I'm usually never home and now I'm noticing it since I've been snowed in all weekend.

lol!
Yeah, I almost never see my bettas poop either =P

They do a lot of weird stuff during the day that they don't do when I'm usually home...like lie underneath plants and wriggle around :p

It'd be fun to set up a video camera on them for 24hr and then speed up the video to watch it =P

[danifacetastic]

Yeah hahaha.

Indeed. I have never seen my betta poop in close to 6 months I have owned him. I think he embarrassed to go poop when I am nearby and only does it in private.

liar, it didn't snow that much!!! lol i couldn't figure out where it was for a while either. it's so close up to his mouth, its kinda weird to imagine all those body parts squeesed into that tiny amount of space...

i'd also love setting up a camera to watch my guys every movement! i'd be such a fish stalker, always watching him sectetly from my room, and whenever he'd start biting his tail i'd have to run in there and yell at him!! XP
