Unfortunately, yesterday, i awoke to find one of my crowntail betta splendens dead. There were not signs that he had any illness but i did noticed that his belly was swollen. This often happens to siamese fighting fish, they become consipated which can unfortunately lead to death - although it can be solved by feeding them a pea.This is a rare occurance for me as betta splendens are generally

There are many different breeding techniques for siamese fighting fish. Here i will outline one of the most commonly used betta breeding methods.Firstly you should ensure that you have enough time to breed, and raise your betta fry. When they get to a certain age they will all need to be seperated into cups. This will take up a lot of room and time. You should also ensure you have somewhere which

Betta Splendens are commonly known as Siamese fighting fish.Their natural habbitat is mainly rice paddies in Thailand.Bettas, unlike popular belief, do not live in rice paddies all the time. For a lot of the year they can be found in 3ft deep water.Siamese fighting fish are anabantoids, meaning they can breathe air from the surface of the water.Betta splenden should be kept in water of 24-27

Betta Splendens will thrive if fed on a healthy diet. Unfortunately for us however, than they be quite fussy when it comes to feeding. One thing you should remember though, is that they prefer live food over dried/frozen food; although this shouldn't be fed all of the time as they may become accustomed to live food which can be expensive and messy.Due to Bettas fussy diet, they often fall ill to

Firstly, you should never keep two Bettas in a tank together - unless you are planning on breeding them – something that I will discuss breeding in the future. However, you probably do not want to keep a Siamese fighting fish in a tank on its own as it may not always be visible or you may just get bored easily. So what fish can you keep peacefully, with a Betta Splenden?Well first things first

The Giant Siamese fighting fish are a strain of bettas which have only recently been obtained. These giant Bettas can reach 7" in length (that’s over three times the length of a normal Betta) and weigh up to five times more. They were created by breeding Bettas which were larger than average, together. These were mainly green specimen as these are naturally larger than other colours. Advances in

They originate from the rice fields of Thailand, although they are now available in many fish stores all over the world. Luckily for many budding hobbyists, Siamese fighting fish can survive in relatively small containers compared to other tropical fish, such as Cichlids. They also do not
