Betta
yes the are called the siamese fighting fish for a reason
Siamese fighting fish lay on the bottom of the tank because they try to play dead
Take them out of the tank and separate them. They'll most likely eat the babies.
Siamese Fighting Fish are available at most pet stores. Petco, Petsmart, even Walmart. But I would suggest looking at a local pet store or fish shop, one that is like a small business just not a franchise. Small local pet stores tend to take better care of their fish. You should find them in the fish section, in little plastic cups. I would recommend keeping them in half gallon or more containers, preferably with a lid but with plenty of ventilation because Siamese Fighting Fish breathe at the surface.
Swordfish often fight each other for the right to mate with females or for territory. These fish are very large and very territorial and will often even fight with humans who enter their area.
Bettas, Siamese Fighting Fish. I may have missed some, but if your talking about small fish, I hve most of them. P.S. NEVER and i repeat NEVER put two male Betta together!!!!!
If you mean adoption fee I got mine for $4.00 just keep in mind that most pet stors dont have females.
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.
Most pet shops that stock tropical fish will be able to get you a female 'Betta splendens'. (that's its' correct name). I would advise you not to use the name 'Chinese fighting fish' 'Cos they may not know what kind of fish you mean since they do not come from China. If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.
If you refer to a Siamese fighting fish (betta), they are territorial toward each other. They will most likely fight each other if there are more than just one in the same tank. It must be avoided.
Betta fish originated in Thailand, and spread all over Asia. Today's Betta's are far more elaborate than their ancestors, who were dull in color. Those ancient bettas lived in puddles, rice paddies, and slow-moving streams.Beta fish come from Thailand and Cambodia, but they live all over Asia. Beta fish live in small ponds, rivers, and even drains.
