The Siamese fighting fish Betta splendens , commonly known as the betta , [2] is a freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia , namely Cambodia , Laos , Myanmar , Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand , and Vietnam. Siamese fighting fish are endemic to the central plain of Thailand [7] [6] and have been domesticated for at least 1, years, among the longest of any fish. Their long history of selective breeding has produced a wide variety of coloration and finnage, earning them the moniker, "designer fish of the aquatic world". Bettas are well known for being highly territorial, with males prone to attacking each other if housed in the same tank; without a means of escape, this will usually result in the death of one or both fish.

ADW: Betta splendens: INFORMATION
Before you do anything, you need to set up the permanent homes for your male and female Betta. You can read a clear guide on how to set up the perfect Betta fish tank here. You need a breeding tank because fry are extremely fragile and need pristine water conditions. At this point, they will all go their separate ways. Now, even though you have a choice, really if you want to be successful , you only have one — buy from a reputable breeder. Why does buying from a pet shop dramatically reduce your chances of breeding?



Lifecycle of Siamese Fighting Fish
To produce all-male progenies in the fighting fish, Betta splendens, six groups of fry were subjected to discrete immersion treatment at different 17alpha-methyltestosterone MT doses viz. Treated groups, which showed significant deviation from the sex ratio, were classified into two different series: S1 and S2. The groups that showed nearly cent-percent masculinization were classified as S1, and the other groups were classified as S2.
