That Betta fish are also
known as
- Betta Splendens
- Siamese Fighting Fish
- Beta (mispelling that has come to predominate)
- Chinese Fighting Fish ( wrongly )
- Japanese Fighting Fish ( ditto )
Betta are native freshwater fish from
Thailand (formerly Siam) and Cambodia (formerly Kampuchea). The
following map outlines Bettas in the wild. (red areas)
Although
these beautiful fish were not seen in Europe untill the 1800's, they
have been cultered and kept in Thai households since the 1200's.
Bettas seen in todays
aquariums have
undergone centuries of selective breeding and have become far more
aesthetically pleasing than the original 'Wild' Betta.
The Betta on the
left is Wild while the Betta on the right is the
result of selective breeding.
Did you also know that
