Did you know that the "bettas come from puddles" is actually a myth created by a mistranslation? Bettas in the wild are often found in paddies--rice paddies to be exact! And while rice paddies are shallow,
they are long and make up hundreds of gallons! Their labyrinth organ allows them to breathe air while in stagnant water, though they do appreciate room to swim and stretch their fins.
Wow!!! Love the look of this Betta! What variety is this? I would love to purchase one like this.
