The
Betta fish is one of most popular fish kept. The Betta Splendens is a favorite
because of its beauty, its long fins
and because they are relatively easy to care for. The males sport deep
beautiful colors whereas the females are less colorful. It is called
the Siamese Fighting Fish because of its behavior towards other males
of the same species. You cannot keep two or more males in the same
tank. If more than one male betta fish are placed in the same tank,
they will fight until only one of them remains. They will flare out
their gill covers and erect their fins showing the other fish their
fighting posture. The Betta also has the ability the breath air from
the surface of the water which makes these fish very adabtiable and
easy to take care of since the water does not have to be as filtered. FYI Betta is related
to Gourami
