What is a Betta Fish?
The betta fish, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, is a small and colorful freshwater fish originally from Thailand, Cambodia, and nearby regions. These fish are famous for their long, flowing fins and brilliant colors that can range from vivid reds and blues to purples and greens. Male bettas are especially showy and often build bubble nests on the water’s surface. Bettas usually grow up to 7 centimeters long and live for around 3 to 5 years when cared for properly. They have smooth scales and make little clicking sounds when they’re excited or flaring their fins. In the wild, they live in shallow, warm waters like rice paddies and slow-moving streams, and they eat tiny insects and larvae. Bettas are also known for their spirited personalities, and even though they can be feisty, they’re a favorite among fish fans around the world.
