Jerry - 2006-01-06 i got my first betta two days ago and he is so cool! i called him "howard" for no particular reason and hes red and the best fish in my tank by far. i would advise anyone to get a siamese fighter because they are so cute! he eats little and doesnt bother any other fish. i would rate them 10/10 :)
ThE cAt - 2006-01-04 I have a blue and red betta named fred in my tank. every now and then, I'll be feeding my fish and he'll act like he's reading the lable. He also has a strange habit of, at a random moment, swim to the top right corner of the tank as though to take a breath.
barbs - 2005-12-23 bettas rock my socks! bettas in general go through a lot they shouldnt have to though. firstly, BETTAS ARE NOT COLDWATER FISH. whatever tank or bowl you have, you need to get an aquarium heater. second, a half gallon barely constitutes a tank, and in no way constitutes something to keep ANY fish in. Your betta needs at least 2.5-5 gallons with a heater. a sponge filter with a gentle flow is ideal, but a not required. once a week, change about 25% of the tank water. your bettas will probably survive even if the above conditions are met, but they will be miserable. the fact that they have the labryinth (air breathing) organ only constutitutes that they will die slower than other fish in poor conditions.
Glynis - 2005-11-18 I have 2 bettas, their names are Dave and Rainbow Jimmie. They really are the prettiest fish around. Dave is a handsome red color and Rainbow Jimmie is, well, a rainbow.
Keiko - 2005-10-31 I bought my fish innocently... and I've had him for two years now. Really, I put that poor fish through a lot, and he's still kicking.
Dan Mangano - 2005-10-31 Before I found this site I wasn't sure on what fish I should get. My little brother has a Paradise fish, and I was going to get one as well. Now I have read this site and all the positive comments I know that I'm going to DEFINITELY get a betta ASAP!!!
Maggie - 2005-09-22 YOU HAVE TO OWN A BETTA TO KNOW WHAT A WONDERFUL PET THEY ARE. THEY ASK FOR VERY LITTLE - A GLASS BOWL, CLEAN WATER AND A PELLET OR TWO. THIS ELEGANT LITTLE FISH IS A TREASURE!
Amber - 2005-09-18 well i think i beat you with my betta living the longest...ive had him for 5 years and hes still going. he lives in a dual bettahex with another betta and he has outlived 4 of the bettas living next to him in the same tank. he is amazing.
Ana - 2005-09-04 Hi, I've had betas for many years now and the longest living one died two months ago, he was 5 years old and that is not counting how old he was when I got him. I recently bought what seems to be a baby because he is the smallest guys I have ever seen. He is absolutely gorgeous, belly is dark blue and the rest of him is burgandy. He is only eatig 1 pellet 3 times per day. I tried 2 pellets but he just ignores it. I have him in a very large fish bowl and that seems so big for him. I just love having him around.
The Siamese Fighting Fish is one of the most popular aquarium fish, and has been part of the hobby for a very long time!
