The 411 on Bettas

The betta is also known as the Siamese fighting fish. Gorgeous in colour, it is one of the most popular fish species kept as pets in households around the world.

Originally from the waters of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, now it is virtually everywhere. Bettas are known for their naturally aggressive nature hence the term “fighting fish”.

Bettas can grow up to 2.6 inches long and are renowned for their beautiful and deep colours. The betta is truly a sight to behold in the water as their fins appear to be flowing when they swim.

Bettas are carnivores although they sometimes partake of vegetable matter. If a male is interested in a female, it will begin twisting its body and spreading its fins. The female will then become darker  and begin curving her body back and forth. Mating then occurs shortly thereafter.
