Male Bettas are commonly called "Siamese fighting fish" because they have evolved in the wild to drive any other male of their species away from their territory. If two are placed in the same container and neither one can get away, there will obviously be a fight. The practice of doing this is very illegal in some countries.
Yes. hence the name

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.
They might have fought each other.
Siamese Fighting Fish fight because most of the fish are territorial. If another fish/Siamese Fighting Fish comes in their territory, the Siamese Fighting Fish will strike and start fighting until one surrenders, is almost dead, or is dead. This also happens when Siamese Fighting Fish are mating. Sometimes the female/male is too old or too young and if they are put together, they will start fighting. When mating, the female has to hide in plants or behind rocks so that the male will not nip on her fins.yes because they smell
Two males will kill each other.
The Siamese Fighting Fish will eat any tropical fish food: flakes, pellets, live white worms, fresh water shrimps, etc. The males must be kept apart (different tanks and unable to see each other) otherwise, they will fight.
They are also called bettas. Never place two male bettas alone, or with other fish in the same tank or bowl without an equal amount of females. Otherwise, they will fight each other to the death.

Male fighting fish & angelfish shouldn't be placed together, as they will fight & probably about kill each other. Female fighting fish & angelfish work great, as neither are inclined to chase the others fins. Just remember to place a lot of plants in the tank.
