Male Fighting Fish otherwise known as Male Betta's are very
popular tropical aquarium fish, with their spectacular fins
and bright
colours. Their
reputation for fighting other males also arouses much curiousity
with males having to be housed separately to prevent
them fighting. They are excellent aquarium fish, easy
to keep and suitable for community aquariums. Tankmates
can be any similar sized peaceful species, but should not
include fin-nippers such as some Barbs, or male Guppies (which
are sometimes attacked by Fighters). Male Fighters
can also be kept singly in glass bowls or similar small receptacles,
provided temperatures are not too cool.
Fighters are native to Thailand and neighbouring
countries such as Cambodia. Wild-type Fighters have
relatively short fins compared to most "domestic" Fighters
and are not as colourful. Like the Guppy, Fighters
have been developed into many different fin varieties and
an impressive array of colour forms.
Fighters are a bubble nest breeder, the males
construct a nest at the water surface, and guard the nest
until the fry are free swimming.
Because of the Fighter's popularity, a number
of associated products have become available, all designed
to help make it as easy as possible to house and feed this
lovely fish.
