Bettas originate in the shallow waters in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and parts of China. They proliferate rice paddies, shallow ponds, and even slow moving streams. Although many fish keepers are aware that Bettas come from shallow waters, what is often overlooked is the water temperature.The home countries of the Betta are tropical, which means the water temperature is quite warm, often into the 80's.
