What does it mean if your Japanese fighting fish flares his face up?

When people write "Japanese fighting fish" I wonder just where they got that name from. The fish is properly called a "Betta splendens" often shortened to Betta. The only common name that fits it is "Siamese fighting fish' because the wild fish comes from what used to be Siam. (Thailand). Flaring of the gills and finnage is the display this species makes as a threat before fighting. Basically, I guess he's saying "Look at me I'm big and strong and fit and I'm going to kill you if you don't clear off".

If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.

They do not eat other fish. Someone has been misinforming you. The common name for the "Betta splendens" is the Siamese fighting fish. They are tropical fish and do not come from China. The males of the species will only fight another male of the same species. They are slow moving, quiet and peaceful fish. That is why they are often kept in community tanks.
