Giant Betta fish—also known as Siamese fighting fish—are among the oldest species of domesticated fish. They originated from Thailand but can be found in nearby countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Wild bettas live in shallow, freshwater areas such as rice paddies, stagnant ponds, marshes, and slow-moving streams. Being used to Asian climates, they prefer warm water around 80º Fahrenheit. Colder water can cause them to become lethargic, stop eating or become more prone to disease or infection. Their diet mainly consists of plankton, crustaceans, and larvae.
Although the species is renowned for its stunning appearance, wild bettas are smaller with shorter fins and are dull grey, green, olive, or brown in colour.
