How much does a betta cost?
A quick check on this site aquariumfish.net indicates that the price in US is between 3.50 USD to 7.00 USD.
How do You differentiate male from the female?
Basically like every other animal in the animal kingdom, the male is much more beautiful-er than the female of its species.This rings true indeed for our fighting fish. Male will typically have more garish bright colors and flowier ribbon like fins.
How long will betta fish last without food?
I was searching whether its feasible to keep betta fish in my office
More then 10 to 14 days it'll die.
Why? because...
- Nippyfish blog's explanation
- Excerpt : "I have a four day rule. If I am gone less than four days then I don't bother finding someone to feed the fish"
- Yahoo answer a concerned betta fish owner
- Excerpt : "he'd be fine for up to 10 days without food, although more than a week you should probably have someone feed him for you. but 4 days is fine"
- bettatalk.com explains
- Excerpt: " It is a good idea to not feed your betta one day a week. Let his digestive system rest, let him clean himself out a bit"
Betta fish care top tips
- Betta fish do not need air pumps, in fact it might be harmful for them
- One betta per fish bowl/aquarium only
- they like blood worms, but as a staple give them freeze dried food
- use only natural waterplants
Vacation fish feeder or Automatic fish feeder with timer
If you're unsure or you're leaving your betta fish for a long time ..
Another way is to buy a fish feeder with timer that can feed your fish each day with a timer to set.
Betta fish care and guide books
Betta fish natural environment
because betta fish do not need air pumps, they can be kept in clear fish bowls
Some may argue that having a waterpump is better , while it is true that they can live in water that is streaming or big aquariums with airpumps. But their body and especially the fins is not built to withstand streaming water. Its better to simulate their natural environment. They are happy to live in a smaller living environment where the water is stagnant. Having said that , its cruel to keep it in a bowl as big as your fist, but a goldfish bowl is acceptable.
The only thing that matters is that the betta fish have clean water, fed well , not too much lighting , the bowl isn't too cramped, with some vegetation included in the environment.
Also remember not to put male and male together or they will fight to death!
Betta fighting fish video showcase
A showcase of different colourful breeds of the Japanese fighting fish.
The other two videos are the two Japanese fighting fish fighting. I don't applaud them but then again, maybe this will satisfy your curiosity and deter many others to put two Betta in a bowl because fight is what happens when you put two fighting fish together.

- Got to agree with Charlie on most of his assessments. Other than limited aeration when trying to breed them (you don't want to break up the nests and you want to limit air flow over the tank when the babies are developing) aeration and filtration are totally acceptable.
