Gaby Pillows The Siamese Fighting Fish

The Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens), also known as a "pla-kad" in Thai, is an incredibly popular aquarium fish that hails from South-East Asia. This species of fish is known for its beautiful coloration and fin shape. When kept in an aquarium, it should be provided with warm water, vegetation, and temperatures between 26-30 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the water's surface is accessible in order for the betta to breathe easily. Males of this species are known to be territorial and aggressive and should not be kept in the same tank.
