Did you know...
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).
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.
That Bettas come in many varieties?

Half Moon Betta
