Hi, I have a betta fish.
Betta
Betta, is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes, known as "bettas", in the gourami family (Osphronemidae).
The best known "Betta" species is "B. splendens," commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish.
Characteristics.
All the "Betta" species are small fishes, but they vary considerably in size, ranging from under 2.5 cm (1 in) total length in "B. chanoides" to 14 cm (
members of the "B. splendens" species complex, including the Siamese fighting fish.
Diet.
Wild "Betta" fish are hardy and eat almost any animal small enough for these small fish to consume, including worms, larvae of mosquitoes or other insects, and smaller fish. Their natural environment is often resource-limited, so many "Betta" species have little choice of food.
Conservation.
While many "Betta" species are common and "B. splendens" is ubiquitous in the aquarium trade,
