Can Betta Fish Taste?

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Absolutely! We’ve all experienced with our Bettas how they spit out certain foods, but gobble down others before you can get it completely in the tank. Fish have Tastebuds. These Tastebuds are located in their Mouth, on their Lips and in surrounding areas on their Heads.

Their Tastebuds act as receptors. The receptors signals the brain that they are in contact with food. And in many cases, the Fish can smell the food, even if they can’t see it.. In addition, the Fish use their sense of Smell, in connection with their Tastebuds to detect food.

Note: Many times, I’ve dropped food in that tanks, and the Betta didn’t see it. But he finds it within a minute. It’s those Tastebuds and Nostrils at work.
