Can Betta Fish Smell?
 |
Yes, Fish can Smell. In fact most of them have Nostrils. Their Nostils have Sensors that can detect odors in the water and sends the signals to their brain. These same Nostrils can detect the blood from other Fish as well. Sharks rely heavily on their Nostrils, as they can detect food over long distances.
Fish also use their sense of Smell to detect the smell that females emit. This detection of the female scent is said to signal the “willingness to breed”.

What Lovel examples of Betta’s. One thing to mention here is about
tropical fish diseases - fin rot . This disease is normally quite easy to cure and often caused by bad water conditions. Please keep your fish like the ones in the pictures.
