Assorted Bettas (Betta splendens)
Remarks: Betta splendens, also known as Siamese fighting fish or domestic betta fish, have been line bred by humans for over 1000 years making them one of the oldest domesticated fish in the hobby. This line breeding has led to many different tail types, colors, and morphologies. When bettas were first introduced into the hobby they were bred and raised for fighting for onlookers to gamble on, resulting in an already aggressive fish becoming even more aggressive but also very hardy compared to their wild counterparts. Male bettas are especially territorial and in general should never be kept in the same aquarium. Females should only be housed together with extreme caution and in very large aquariums with lots of hiding spots.

Received a mix of colorful bettas with vibrant fins. They look stunning in a well-maintained tank. I kept one male and one female in separate tanks to avoid conflict. The fish are active and show off their colors well.

The bettas arrived healthy and seem to be in good condition. I’ve placed them in a 10-gallon tank with plants and hiding spots. The males are calm now, but I keep them apart as advised.
