Why do betta fish in pet shop not require a pump in their tank? And why are their tanks so small.
In: 230
They are adapted to living in incredibly muddy and filthy waters, and one of their major adaptations to this is that they do not have functional gills at all. They breathe air exclusively through their air bladder.
Because of this, they can tolerate water that is much more dirty than most other fish.
