Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, occupy a niche in freshwater habitats, primarily in shallow waters like rice paddies, swamps, and slow-moving streams in Southeast Asia. They thrive in environments with dense vegetation, which provides shelter and breeding grounds. Their ability to breathe atmospheric oxygen via a labyrinth organ allows them to survive in low-oxygen conditions, giving them a competitive edge in their natural habitat. Bettas are also territorial and exhibit aggressive behaviors, particularly during mating seasons, influencing their interactions with other species.

Are betta fishes eggs clear?

No Betta fishes eggs are a pale cream colour and can be seen in the nest once the male and female have finished spawning. They can also be seen shortly after the male embraces the female as she releases them for him to collect. for a first time breeder i found them hard to spot my self at first as they can blend in very well with all the bubbles!
