ABOUT BETTA FISH

Scientific Name : Betta splendens

Common Names : Siamese Fighting Fish

The Betta fish is probably the second most popular fish kept, after Goldfish. The Betta Splendens is a favorite because of its beauty, its long fins and because bettas are relatively easy to care for. Betta fish are 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 fish are placed in the same tank, they will fight until only one of them remains.

BETTA FISH'S LIFE STYLE

Arowana Care Level

Bettas are low maintenance and easy care fish, which makes them a popular fish for beginners and children. They can be kept in small, regularly maintained containers and do not need filtration. Live plants such as java moss, java fern or a strand of anacharis or hornwort will provide a place for your fish to relax and help to keep the water clean and oxygenated.

Tank Environment

The betta lifespan averages between 2-3 years. Can be kept in small tanks as small as 2 gallons but they do best in larger tanks. Optimally the water for keeping healthy Bettas should be soft, warm, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Water movement should be kept to a minimum, which means that power filters and powerheads are not suitable.

Tank Mates

Community Safe with similarly sized non-aggressive fish; avoid keeping with brightly colored fish such as fancy guppies. Do not keep more than one betta in a tank. Males will fight to the death with males, and kill females when not breeding.

Diet / Fish Food

Prefers live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, krill and tubifex worms. Will also eat frozen foods. Some high protein flake or pellet food may be used as well depending on the fish.

Behavior

Betta behaviors make them as popular as their appearance. They earned the label of fighting fish due to the aggression males in particular show toward each other. A male will flare his fins and gills in an impressive display, even if faced with his own reflection. Males that encounter one another in a closed environment will often fight to the death.
