Things to know about betta fish
Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are native to Southeast Asia.
They are known for their vibrant colors and flowing fins, and are often kept as pets in small aquariums or fish bowls.
Betta fish are carnivorous, and their diet should consist of high-protein foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp.
They prefer warm water temperatures between 76-82°F and a pH level between 6.5-7.5.
Betta fish have a labyrinth organ which allows them to breathe air from the surface, so they can survive in smaller aquariums without a filter or aeration.
However, regular water changes are still important to maintain their health.
Types of betta fish
There are many different types of Betta fish, also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, which are widely sought after as ornamental fish.
Some of the most common types include Halfmoon Betta, Crowntail Betta, Veiltail Betta, Plakat Betta, Double Tail Betta, and Dragon Scale Betta. Each type has its unique appearance, size, and behavior.
Some Betta fish have long, flowing tails, while others have short, stubby ones. Some are brightly colored, while others have a more muted tone.
Betta fish are generally hardy and easy to care for, making them popular among aquarium enthusiasts.
What and how to feed betta fish
To feed betta fish, it's important to give them small and frequent meals throughout the day.
They enjoy a diet of high-quality pellets or flakes designed for their species.
Live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia can also be added to their diet two to three times a week.
However, it's essential not to overfeed them as obesity can lead to various health problems.
Give them an amount of food that they can consume within three to five minutes and remove any excess food.
Remember to clean the tank regularly and maintain the water quality.
