Description
Male Betta Standard
Betta fish, commonly referred to as Siamese fighting fish, are one of the most popular fish breeds.
With its jewel-toned colouring and flowing fins, betta fish are a great addition to any fish-lover’s home.
Not all betta fish fight—only the males.
Despite how they are often sold, bettas should not be kept in a fish bowl.
Bettas are happiest when kept in water that is soft, warm, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. With the right care, bettas can live around 2 to 3 years.
