My Siamese fighting fish is off his food he seems lethargic and his water is cold but i don't know how to make it warm?
One of the many reasons small containers are not recommended by experienced aquarists for housing Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is that it is very hard to heat them correctly. They need to be kept around 75F to 80F. Below 65F they could very well die. My advice is to get as large a tank as you can afford and set it up with a heater/thermostat, filter, lights and plants. Your fish will then do well provided you look after it properly.
If you have a medium sized bowl and have a Siamese fighting fish in it is it okay to keep another fish in it or would it be too full?
There are not many fish that can be kept with Siamese fighting fish. They are able to survive in small bowls because they have a breathing organ (a labyrinth) that allows them to breathe some atmospheric air. While they will get on with most catfish, livebearers and other small fish, these other fish will not be happy in a bowl. If you add a filter, you could keep some pygmy corydoras, otocinclus catfish, ember tetras or white cloud mountain minnows. Each of these are schooling species, buy at least 3 and be aware you will now have a lot more water changes to do.
What is a dragon Siamese fighting fish?
Dragon Siamese Fighting fish are another colour variety of Betta's. There are different colour varieties - but the defining feature of a Dragon Betta is the metallic colouration. The fuller the metallic colouration is over the body (and over the face - known as the mask), the better quality it is. Dragons come in all finnage varieties, with most popular being Half Moon. Metallic scales come in all colours including pearl-white, copper, gold, silver, metallic blue/green/purple and so forth.
What type of betta fish?
Betta fish is one of several genera in the Family Osphronemidae. The most famous Betta is the Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens). The word Betta comes from a local Siamese name for Siamese Fighting fish, "Ikan Bettah". The contemporary Thai name for this fish is Pla-kad. They were originally called the Macropodus Pugnax by Dr. Theodor Cantor who was given a Siamese Fighting Fish By The King Of Siam in the 19th Century. The name was changed in the 20th century after Dr. Tate Ragen developed a fascination with them and changed their name from Macropodus Pugnax to Betta Splendens.In South East Asia Betta splendens is traditionally kept as a fighting fish. The Bettas kept in Asia as fighting fishes were brown with a tinge of green and their fins were much smaller than the fins that we can see on the aquarium kept Bettas of today. If you keep a Betta fish in order to make the fight other Bettas, you will naturally have no incitements to breed fancy Betta fish with long and flowing fins that can easily be injured. Betta fighting is still popular in many parts of Asia and those Bettas can look very different from the forms that we find in aquariums. Male Betta splendens are highly territorial, and when put together in the same container they will fight until one of them dies. In the wild, a weaker male can always choose to leave the territory before he becomes deadly injured, but this is naturally impossible in a small fish bowl or aquarium.
What does a fight look like?
If you mean like a Siamese fighting fish or beta fish they are like.. size of a ordinary goldfish I think and can be many colors but the fins are long and wavy it's a very elegant fish but still has the intend to kill another fish. But these are only the males. The females brownish maybe goldish. Not as flowy on the fins and looks for like a goldfish. ;)
