Why Are They Called Fighting Fish?

Siamese Fighting Fish acquired their name because of the aggressive nature the males exhibited toward other males. Being very territorial, when two males are in close proximity, they will battle until one is either hurt or retreats.

Roommates?

Bettas, unlike other species, are not schooling creatures and will fight with each other. Bettas prefer to swim alone and also need a comfortable place to hide in the tank.

Bettas are known to recognize their human companions, will follow your finger around the aquarium, and can even be trained to perform tricks! On average, the betta fish life span is 3 to 5 years, but in rare cases, they can reach up to 8 or 9 years of age in captivity
