∙ 14y agoIt is impossible to say what is the most 'common' name because this species is called by so many different common names in many different countries and districts. However it is possible to give you the correct name. That is its 'taxonomic name' ie the name it is officially/scientifically known by. That name is 'Betta splendens'. If you use that name no matter where you are or who you are talking to in the fish keeping world, you will be understood and people will know exactly which species of fish you are refering to.
