Betta Fish have become very popular over the last few years and it’s easy to understand why. Betta fish are colourful and playful and fill a fish tank with spectacular color. Another advantage of Betta fish is that they don’t need a lot of fish care and are pretty easy to look after. Another name for Betta fish is the Siamese fighting fish.
Betta fish make great pets and are full of life and will keep you entertained for hours. The main reason for the fun factor is because they don’t breath in the normal way tropical fish do. They need to surface regularly to gain extra oxygen. This is due to the fact that in the wild they live in still waters with a low oxygen count.
With the right fish care, Betta fish should live for around 3-4 years but this can vary greatly depending on their environment and I would advice you do your research before buying your Betta fish and equipment.
There are over 50 different species of Betta fish and the good news is that most of them can be kept in a fish tank with the right fish care. One of the most popular Betta fish is the Siamese Fighting fish.
