Bettas

Brisbane's Tropical Aquarium stocks a range of Betta Fish (Fighting Fish) available to order online.

The Betta splendens fish, which literally translates as Splendid Fighter are often called "Siamese Fighting Fish", are members of the Osphronemidae family. Betta fish are usually placid; this does change if there are two males that come across each other either in the wild or the aquarium. The Betta fish is known as the Fighting Fish for a reason as two males will fish to the death.

Betta fish only grow to around 2-3 inches (6-8cmcm) long. They are not an active fish and so a very large tank isn't needed for them. They can be housed in small tanks or large tanks if you wish.
