Bettas can drown. They do not breath through gills.

Betreff: Re: [RML] Re: Euthanizing fish
As far as I know bettas only use air breathing via the labyrinth organ
as a supplement to their normal, underwater breathing via gills.. So it
should have worked. One thing that has worked with fish that I wanted to
send as specimen per post, was to drop them in 70% ethanol. They died
within seconds. Still was not a nice sight.. Christophe

Ow... well, see, nobody told me that. They should warn people about it
then, that it's not applicable to all species. :(
