Current Category Fighting Fish (Bettas)

Male Fighting Fish are very popular tropical aquarium fish, with their spectacular fins and bright colours.  Their reputation for fighting other males also arouses much curiousity with  males having to be housed separately to prevent them fighting.  They are excellent aquarium fish, easy to keep and suitable for community aquariums.  Tankmates can be any similar sized peaceful species, but should not include fin-nippers such as some Barbs, or male Guppies (which are sometimes attacked by Fighters).  Male Fighters can also be kept singly in glass bowls or similar small receptacles, provided temperatures are not too cool.

Fighters are native to Thailand and neighbouring countries such as Cambodia.  Wild-type Fighters have relatively short fins compared to most "domestic" Fighters and are not as colourful.  Like the Guppy, Fighters have been developed into many different fin varieties and an impressive array of colour forms.

Fighters are a bubble nest breeder, the males construct a nest at the water surface, and guard the nest until the fry are free swimming.

Because of the Fighter's popularity, a number of associated products have become available, all designed to help make it as easy as possible to house and feed this lovely fish.
