Bettas (Betta splendens) are undeniably one of the most famous tropical fish. Also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, they are known for both their aggression and their beauty.
This is why many people choose to just keep female Bettas. They are far
more peaceful and can even be kept in groups, called a sorority.
The species comes from Asia. It is mostly associated with Thailand, but they are found in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam too.
Unfortunately, Bettas are a vulnerable species in their natural habitat. They are much more successful in captivity because they are bred extensively.
