Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are vibrant freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia. They are renowned for their striking colors and long, flowing fins. Betta fish are territorial and often kept alone to prevent fighting, as males especially are aggressive toward each other. They thrive in warm, clean water with plenty of hiding spots. Despite their reputation for aggression, bettas are relatively low-maintenance pets that can be kept in individual tanks, making them popular choices for beginner aquarists. Proper care involves regular water changes, a balanced diet, and a suitable environment to ensure their health and vibrancy.
