Siamese Fighting Fish
These fishes are beautiful, richly colored, require
relatively little space. They have long trailing fins. Colors range from
red to blue to white. They are known as Siamese fighting fish because
male betta's have a tendency to fight one another over territory, usually
to the death of one. So it is safer to keep Betta males seperately.

Female Betta

they rarely have the long finnage that is seen with the males.
