Best Answer

Siamese fighting fish come from the tropical islands of Asia and are nothing special to China. The only connection is in the simple fact that so many people do not know their geography and have Siam, (Which is now Thailand), Indonesia and Malaysia mixed up and call the fish "Chinese fighting fish" in error.
