BETTA, the SIAMESE FIGHTING FISHBETTA, the SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH
by: THE CAUSE, INC My ancestry began in Asia, an overseas tropical country. My father, his father before him, was born in rice paddies and in puddles formed by water buffalos. We grew up eating the many tropical insects that are found in hot and humid climates. I can never be placed with another male: we will fight until one of us is killed, or later, we both may die from our injuriesOver the years my fins have become quite long and handsome, due to special genetic breeding. I am one of the most sought after fish in the aquarium world, loved by the young and older hobbyists. Often I am shipped to the local fish stores and placed in special containers holding biological water. Here I will be viewed by many, and later purchased. Once I am chosen, I will need good biological water, so please, when changing my water, save at least half because I cannot survive in pure tap water. Speaking of containers, I prefer something larger than small ones. A one gallon tank or larger is best for me. Here I can show off my lovely finnage. For food, I do prefer live foods the best, but can and will do well on betta bites - a good brand- is preferred or I may just spit out the cheap stuff. Do follow the feeding directions as this will keep me and my environment healthy. I cannot take the cold -brrr. These conditions will allow parasites, such as ich, to attack my body and this will spell death for me. Even if I survive the ich, the infestation can cause a secondary bacterial infection. SO PLEASE, KEEP ME WARM ! Warmth is part of my genetic make-up. I love 78 to 80 degree temperatures. Also, I need you to put live aquarium plants in my tank. This will help keep any nitrates from building in the water and damaging my gills and body. Best of all, I can curl up on them and sleep. Please, PLEASE, DO NOT TAP on my home. If you tap the container it produces a shock to my central nervous system and in return, I will attempt to flee in fright. This can cause me to get hurt. I must have lots of love and attention from you. If you provide all of this for me, I will be your friend and remain with you for several years. ![]() |
