Rearing Fighting fish

The Siamese Fighting Fish originated in Thailand and Indonesia, where it lives in swamps and rice paddies. The original betta doesn't have the long, colourful, flowing fins and thin long body of the fancy type, but instead has a short, stocky body with fins like a female betta, with red, green and blue being the predominant colours. The wild types are more aggressive and have more muscle than that of the fancy type.

The betta can be a very peaceful fish, but is considered aggressive for two reasons:
Defence of territory, and
The right to breed with a female. The betta, in my opinion, is one of the easiest first fish to keep, because they don't require a huge tank with an expensive filter, and they don't need to be fed expensive foods. The betta requires a small container (bowl or jar), likes to be fed once or twice a day and likes the water to be changed every four or five days, and that's what makes it such a good beginner's fish. It doesn't require a lot of intense attention and care.

Rearing fighting fish alway related as man hobby, but this is not true. coz there are so many woman like to rear fish. I like to rear fish satrt when i was in the secondary school. i stared with some swordtail, about 4 years ago i star to rear fighting coz it is more fun, no more llivebearers. Itry to spawn the fish, at the first i just manage to get one or two fish alive, after few years of spawning now i can get about 100 fish each time. i hope that from here the fish lover ll have chanse to talk about their experience too.
