Betta Profile

The Siamese fighting fish, commonly known as Betta splendens, is a stunning freshwater species native to Southeast Asia, primarily Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Recognized for their vibrant colors and flowing fins, male bettas in particular display more vivid hues and longer fins compared to females. Their brilliant shades range from reds and blues to greens and purples. One of the key characteristics that make them popular in the fishkeeping hobby is their aggressive behavior toward other males, which requires separate housing to avoid conflict.
