In the past people originally regarded bettas as fighting fishes. But today this spectacular kind of fish is more well-known for its beauty.
This website is meant to provide basic knowledge for people who want to start keeping bettas in their aquarium. If you’re looking for expert advices this site is not for you. Everything you read here comes from a hobbyist (that’s me) and since I am in no way an expert in bettas I can only write the basic betta fish information.
The following is the summary of what you will find on this site:
