The Red Betta (Betta splendens), also known as the Siamese Fighting Fish, is a captivating freshwater species. Male Bettas are admired for their vibrant colouration and flowing finnage, making them a popular choice for home aquariums.
While generally peaceful towards non-betta species, they are territorial and must be housed individually or with careful consideration in a community setting.
