Betta Fish
Overview
Betta fish (also known as Siamese fighting fish) are renowned for their vibrant colors, flowing fins, and engaging personalities. Originating from Southeast Asia, Bettas have adapted to survive in shallow waters, making them hardy and relatively easy to care for when given the right environment. Whether you’re a seasoned aquarist or a first-time fish keeper, Bettas offer a captivating aquarium experience!
