Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish or simply bettas, originate from the shallow waters of Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Cambodia. These distinctive fish are known for their vibrant colours and flowing, elaborate fins that make them popular among aquarium enthusiasts in the UK.

Their suitability hinges on providing a well-maintained, warm, and clean environment with a gentle filter and adequate hiding spots.
