What does it mean when the Siamese fighting fish lose their fins?
It means the fishes water is absolutely PUTRID and the ammonia in the water is dissolving the fishes fins. Please, for the fishes sake. Change the water NOW!! The basic rules for successful fish keeping are as follows. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.(a Betta needs at least 3 gallons of water) :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Keep to the above rules and your fish stand a chance of surviving. Fail to keep them and I can guarantee that your fish will get sick and die way before they should.

Would a clown fish beat a betta fish in a fight?
If you are talking about the marine clownfish, they would not fight with a betta. It would be impossible to do. Bettas are freshwater fish. Clowns are saltwater, and do not fight readily. If you introduced a betta into the clown's tank the salt would rapidly kill the betta. If you put the clown into the betta's tank the betta would probably attack it but it would not fight back because it would be so weakened by the lack of salt. Fighting bettas is cruel anyhow. This is abuse of an animal's instinctive behavior and is invariably practised by people who do not know how to look after the fish and help them recover from their injuries. People who keep bettas for purposes other than fighting appreciate them for their spectacular beauty, intelligence and personality. Charles would lose against the clown fish, because he fights like a sissy!!!
