Betta Fish



    Betta fish is a beautiful fish. Betta fishes come in various shapes, sizes and colours. Depending on the breeds, betta fishes come in all kinds colours. Hence, if you are keen in betta breeding, you will be delighted to know that you have a wide range of colours to choose from. The length of a betta is usually about 7cm. Female bettas are usually slightly longer than the male ones. It is interesting to note that the fins of some male bettas are the same length as their body.
    The advantage of a betta living in a wild environment is that it has more opportunity for exercise as it needs to search for food and escape predators. So, if you can try chasing your bettas around the betta fish tank more often, this may help to prolong their life!
Unfortunately, betta fish life span is not very long, as compared to other fishes in general. If you provide good betta fish care, its life span may range from one to three years. Sad to say, many bettas die premature deaths due to sickness or poor betta fish care.
    As seen above, bettas are colourful fishes which belong to the group of labyrinth fishes. They need oxygen from the air to survive as well as exercise to maintain good health. Proper betta care is important to prevent betta diseases. Hope the above information can help you know more about betta fishes and also help you decide whether to keep one as a pet!
