Habitat
Betta fish are usually found in calm waters such as swamps, ponds, and rivers that have aquatic vegetation, such as aquatic plants and submerged roots. They prefer habitats that have warm water and little current. Betta fish habitats often have dense aquatic vegetation, such as hyacinths, aquatic plants, and plant roots that dangle into the water. These vegetation provide shelter and create zones with different light intensities in the waters. In some habitats, Betta fish live in waters with muddy or sandy mudbottoms. They can find food and find a place to lay eggs among these layers of soil.
Species
The development of variations in terms of shape and color has been
fairly rapid in recent generations.
Here are the types of Betta Fish:
Crown Tail
The Crowntail Betta fish is famous for its unique fin shape. The fins have a tapered tip similar to the crown, hence the name "Crowntail" or "crown tail." In addition, they have a compact and streamlined body, with an amazing variety of color variations. It is this physical uniqueness that makes them one of the favorite choices for aquarium enthusiasts.
Half Moon
This betta fish has different characteristics from other betta fish, namely on a tail that is very wide to resemble a half moon. That's why this betta fish is named Halfmoon. Because of that uniqueness is what makes the Halfmoon Betta look very beautiful and look very wine when swimming. Its very wide tail makes the Halfmoon type betta look very large compared to betta fish in general.
Marble
The name marble itself refers to the gene that affects the pigmentation of betta fish. Fish called marble are bettas that have an unfixed transposon DNA. So starting from the age of burayak, young, to adulthood, the color spots on the body and fins can change. This is also called mutation.
Spade Tail
So named because this breed has a tail that is spade-shaped, as in playing cards. The base of the tail is a wide round shape and then narrows to a point at the tip of the tail.
