Keeping Bettas, also known as Siamese fighting fish, can be a wonderful experience. People have been collecting these fish as far back as the 17th century. Originally, they were found in the waters of Thailand (then known as Siam), and were called "pla kat," which translates into "biting or tearing" fish.
If fed a good diet program and kept in suitably maintained water, they are able to reside in captivity for around two to five years. Over the last decades, breeders have produced nearly a dozen different scale and finnage variations of Betta fish. Mastering all about Bettas prior to purchasing them will conserve you the frustration of getting them floating upside down in the tank resulting from you not recognizing ways to effectively care for them.
If you have ever seen Betta fish for sale at the local pet store, you are probably well aware that they are held in containers by themselves.
Along with understanding the basic nature of this fighting fish, it is important to learn all about Bettas? diseases, suitable plants, and water chemistry as well as how to pick out the best fish for purchase. There are extensive books that can help provide much information to keep and maintain a healthy pet.
Learning all about Bettas? environment needs, diet, behavioral patterns and health issues will help you overcome the most common mistakes many pet owners make. Understanding the basic requirements of raising these fighting fish will provide you many years of enjoyment with your pet.
