The Bettas that you see that have the beautifull flowing fins and brilliant colours have all been developed and line bred in captivity. The wild fish is not very colourful and has much shorter fins.

Do Betta fish eat feeder fish?

Betta's can be a very aggresive fish, especially the males. They may go after smaller slower moving fish that stray into their territory of the tank. If they stress out the fish enough that they kill it they will nibble on it, however Bettas are not a large carnivores and shouldn't be fed feeder fish. In fact, scince most feeders are goldfish (of a sort) the feeder may stress out the betta to the point that it will kill the betta. It is best just to feed a betta high protein flakes. Most pet stores that sell bettas also have food formulated for bettas scince it is such a popular species.

How long do male betta's live for in a bowl?

If you take really good care of you male betta fish then he could live up to 5years. Like, if you change their water like twice a week and if you feed them about twice a day and if you buy a little plant that they sell at pet stores,it's a little plant that goes at the bottom of your fish bowl and it gives the fish oxygen. But, if you decide to not take good care of your betta fish then he could only live for a couple of monthes. Hope that this helped you.


Do betta fish go together with goldfish?

Beta fish are solitary fish and generally will attack/annoy any other fish until they are dead. Check with your local pet shop that sell fish to inquire about what, if any, fish can co-exist with Beta. it all depends on how aggressive you betta fish is, i own two male bettas, i placed my first one in the tank with 3 other goldfishes and they get along fine, however when i replaced the 1st betta with the 2nd one, it was the more aggressive one and attacked my other fishes...... my suggestions is to buy a seperator for the betta and have it get use to the other fishes for the first couple of weeks then place them together. just a heads up, doing this can cause a betta to get stressed out, so be on a look out for simptosn of ick hello!

What kind of water should you put in a bowl for a Siamese fighting fish?

Ordinary tap water with the chlorine removed is OK for most fish. I think you have the name wrong. There is no such thing as a fighting fish from China. The only fighting fish I know of is the "Betta splendens" which is commonly called a "Siamese fighting fish" or a "Betta" for short. I am aware that some of the less responsible pet shops sell tiny bowls to keep these poor fish in. They are setting people up for failure. Bettas really need a properly set up aquarium. The minimum sized tank for a Betta is a nominal 5 gallons. The basic rule for keeping any kind of fish successfully is "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". A Betta grows to around 2.5 inches body length. A 5 gallon tank will be filled to within 1 inch of the top usually and should also have an inch or two of gravel on the bottom. So the tank will actually only contain about 3 gallons of water.
