A Look at Betta Fish

Male-red-betta
Betta fish are those little guys sold in cups. Their colors are vibrant and their fins are very elaborate. How much do we really know about them though? I find myself curious as to why they are able to survive in little cups when other fish cannot. So I started to do research and have found they not only use gills but also breathe regular air!

This leads to another problem though. Living in a cup is not a very exciting life. Bettas get bored too and can acquire degenerative diseases from a lack of excercise. Who knew fighting fish could be so interesting?
