Japan
I has fore bettas so bettas live in the us cause I do Answer: Well in addition to that answer, Betta's are native to Japan which is where the name "Japanese Fighting Fish" came from.
'Japanese fighting fish' 'Chinese fighting fish' 'Siamese fighting fish' and 'Betta' are all names given to the 'Betta splendens'.
There are many animals in Japan such as bears & fish and tortoises. One famous native animal is the Japanese macaque monkey.
There are no fighting fish that come from Japan. I think you are asking about the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). They do naturally have a round stomach almost like a ball. That is their body shape.
Japanese fighting fish are called 'des combattants' or 'des poissons combattants' in French.
The fighting fish was origionally native to the rice paddies of Thailand and Cambodia
The Betta and Siameese Fighting Fish
The fish you are refering to as a "Japanese fighting fish" does not exist. There are no fighting fish that come from Japan. Japan is a cold country not a tropical one. The Koi Carp were developed in Japan. The fish I THINK you mean is the "Siamese fighting fish" more correctly the "Betta splendens". Yes they do fight but only the males fight and they will only fight against another male of the same species.
青いベタ /a oi be ta/ would mean 'blue betta/fighting fish' in Japanese.
No not really
no. they are tropical fish.
