Betta Fish



Beta is a freshwater fish endemic to Southeast Asia.  They live in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.  It is one of the 73 species of the genus Betta.  , But is nicknamed "Betta" due to its global popularity as a pet.  They first began living in the home at least 1,000 years ago.  They were originally bred aggressively and were subject to gambling similar to chicken pox.  They first appeared in the West in the late 19th century and became very popular as ornamental fish decades later.  Their long history of selective breeding has produced a variety of colorings and fins that have earned them the nickname "the creator of fish in the aquatic world." 

In addition to its worldwide popularity, Siam fighting fish is Thailand's national aquatic animal and remains the leading breeder and exporter of beta varieties for the global aquarium market.  Although they are abundant as pets, they increase pollution and habitat destruction.  They are a very beautiful fish.


The eggs hatch within 3 days.  After 3 days the pups start swimming.  First dry the egg yolk well and dissolve the powder or egg yolk in water and add three to four drops.  After a week, give Artemia Bryshimp, Paramesium, bread worms and coconut water worms twice a day as live food.  It grows to a size of 1-1.5 cm in a month. During this time, remove the dirt from the bottom of the tank at least once every seven days.  Or even the life of the beta fish may be lost.  Males can be identified and isolated after about 50 days.  Beta fish have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, but in rare cases, they can reach 8 or 9 years of age in captivity.  It is the duty and responsibility of all of us to protect the most beautiful animal, the beta, from extinction.
