In this episode of Reefs & Reptiles we will be talking about Betta splendens, otherwise known as the Siamese Fighting Fish.  The biggest take away from this episode is that while Bettas are typically sold in deli cup sized containers, they do so much better in larger aquariums.  I believe that because fish stores typically present Bettas in these small containers, consumers get the impression that Bettas like being in small fish bowls.  Bettas like to swim around and appreciate space and warm water.  We will go over basic needs of Bettas and talk about potential Betta tank mates.
