Betta fish originated from Cambodia and Thailand (which is why they are also known as Siamese fish or Siamese fighting fish).
Betta fish are originally from Asia. Some call paddies fish as well where farmers rare them to keep the mosquito larva away
Adult Betta fish are usually 2-3 inches long and have very developed fan type tails and fins. Their striking looks make them one of the most popular sweet water aquarium fish.
Bettas usually live 2-3 years. Some betta fish have been known to live longer than that, up to five years and even more. The scientific name of Betta fish is Betta splendens. If we may get a bit more technical for a minute, Betta fish are currently regarded as a member of the Osphronemidae family of fish
