All the Betta (Fighter Fishes) is originally come from the river of Thailand. The natural Betta body is deep green in colour with short fin. However after breeding through the years by man, it is not unusual to see Betta fishes in different variations e.g. long fin, blue, red, back, yellow, white colour.

There are two variations of Betta Fishes; ShowBetta & FighterBetta.

  • ShowBetta- This Betta has long colorful fins. The beauty competitions of Showbetta is selected by judges observing each Showbetta in its own tank. They are judged and awarded points by the colour, body size, body shape, the fin shape and the overall look of the Betta. Also, health of that Betta is important. ShowBetta's do not fight much; if one decides to swim away, the winner will not swim after it.

  • FighterBetta- This Betta has short fins. These are primarily for fighting so normally they are easily provoked compared to ShowBetta. They also fight to the death if you don't separate them. It is hard to maintain their fighting abilities.
