What is the Siamese fighting fish?
Siamese Fighting Fish, also known as Bettas, are tropical freshwater fish coming from the Indoch and Peninsula, a region when it is once known as Siam. In the wild, these often colored fish generally prefer warm, shallow waters. As domesticated tank fish, Siamese combat fish are considered durable and easy to take care of if they are fed with a lively abortion and get warm water. However, they may attack other fish in the tank, especially if these fish are different siamoric fighting fish or other tropical fish with large, flowing fins such as Angelfish. These fish should always have access to the water surface because they have a special organ that allows them to breathe oxygen from the air. These fish often come in bright, attractive colors including white, pink, red, blue or purple. Usually Betta fish reboli size about 3 inches (7 cm) in length and can live for two to three years. These fish usually prefer a water temperature of 75 to 86 degrees FahrenheITA (24 to 30 ° C). Although many Siamese combat fish are maintained in very small containers, the aquarium enthusiasts often emphasize that, ideally, each fish should have a tank capacity of 2 to 3 gallons (7.5 to 11.4 liters).
In their natural environment, Siamese combat fish are adapted to life in shallow waters that are not disturbed by strong stream. Like other fish of the family Ospronemidae , Betta Fish generally owns a labyrinth organ. This organ makes it possible to breathe oxygen from the air so that it can continue to prosper in waters that do not contain high oxygen levels. Because Betta fish usually rely on their labyrinth organ to breathe, access to the surface of the water in its tank or bowl should always be allowed.
These fish are considered to be fish consuming meat and in the wild predominantly insects. Betta fish is most often recommended for live food, includingShrimp, including shrimp, worms and plankton. Frozen and frozen food can usually be safely replaced by living food.
Siamese combat fish are generally considered aggressive fish and it was known to attack other members of its kind when they are held in the same tank. Betta's male fish are considered more aggressive than women. Because Betta fish can be aggressive, the aquarium enthusiasts must generally take care of this diversity. In general, it is considered unpredictable to keep the Betta fish in the same tank with other Bettas, but other types of tropical fish may prosper in the same tank as Betta if they do not have long or large fins.
