What is a Betta Fish?

Friday, November 16th, 2007 |

Betta fish are beautiful, responsive, and easy to care for pets. Betta come in a beautiful variety of colors, from red to blue to a magestic white. And often times a mix of multiple colors. The betta fish can live up to 5 years. However you’ll usually find them in pet stores after they’re 1 year old, when they are more mature and colorful.

You’ll typically see betta fish in little aquariums all by themself. That is because they require very little space and tend to be quite violent towards other fish. They eat all kinds of feed from dry food to live brine shrimp.

Its no surprise that a fish also commonly known as the Siamese Fighting fish is very aggressive.
However betta are violent and aggressive by nature due to their natural habitat in Southeast Asia.

Betta fish also known as Siamese fighting fish make for a great first pet for kids or for people without the time to care for a larger pet such as aBetta Fish cat or dog. The best part about betta fish are that they require very little space. Unfortunately Betta fish must live in soliderity, as they are very aggressive fish and don’t play well with other fish.
Betta fish are fun and come in a large vareity shapes, sizes, and personalities. When picking out your betta fish take notice of their fins and make sure they are in good condition. A healthy betta will be responsive and alert.

Keep in mind that male betta fish are bigger, have more color, and more elegant fins. While the female beta fish is rather small and have very dull colors.

A healthy male will produce little bubble nests that will float at the top of their tank or bowl and will move around rock and build territories.
