Appearance
- Coloration:Wild bettas are generally subdued, with drab brown or greyish-green bodies. They have iridescent scales that can flash blue or green in the light, but these are less intense than in captive-bred fish.
- Fins:Males have shorter, less elaborate fins than their domesticated cousins, often with a red crescent-shaped band or red accents.
- Size and Shape:They are smaller and more slender, reaching only a few inches in length, making them more streamlined for their habitats.
Habitat
- Environment:They live in shallow, slow-moving freshwater environments such as rice paddies, swamps, and canals in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
- Breathing Adaptation:Their labyrinth organ allows them to breathe air directly from the water's surface, which is crucial for surviving in the low-oxygen water of their marshy habitats.
Behavior
- Social Structure:Unlike the highly territorial domesticated Betta splendens, some wild bettas are more social.
- Mating:Males display vivid red and blue coloration during mating displays.
- Territoriality:Male wild bettas are aggressive and will fight to protect their territories and nests, a survival trait in their competitive environment.
