courtesy of J-JoyceBetta is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes in the gourami family. There are 28 known species of betta. The type species is B. picta, the spotted betta. By far the best known Betta species, however, is B. splendens, the Siamese fighting fish.
All the Betta species are small fishes, but they vary considerably in size, ranging from under 2.5 cm total length in B. chanoides to five inches in the Akar betta. Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air thanks to a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles.
