Here are some pics i took of my siamese fighting fish. he's really hard to take photos of because he changes colour in the light, he is ment to be a black orchid Crowntail (so he's actually black) but he's got aqua stripes on his tail and his body shimmers green & blue. Wow, these pics came out way too big!

nice betta, you should give him a proper tank with a filter and heater though, or he might not make it through many winters

^^^ Agreed, wouldnt wanna see a beautiful betta keel over. Bowls are only good for keeping fruit in.

Yeah agreed, the bowl is just temporary because since its coming into winter i will need to set him up in a bigger tank with filtration and especially a heater since they don't like it cold.

good stuff, better hurry up though i can't imagine that bowl would be warmer than 20deg in this weather, and probably a lot colder at night

If you like the green you should ask superman to put up a photo of the one he got off me.

wow, these guys look unreal, but i always thought that they only like to be in a small tank with no filter or nothing, well we learn something new every day,
if they fight all the time, how do they breed, or do they only fight males with males,,
cheers neil

They dont fight all the time, the asians have bread strains with short tails for fighting and breed for agression, the fancy strains we see here are a diff type of fish altogether, same species though.
Bettas actually need a hotter aquarium than most tropical fish to thrive, temps of 28-30DegC, they dont last long at temps below 25.
