I know the pic quality isn't fantastic, but you get the idea





He's a Siamese fighting fish, got him yesterday, the pic doesn't really do him justice because he's a lovely looking fish with a great colour

D.K.1

I think he's gorgeous, more red than pink, jut the pic makes him look pink. looks a bit purple at times too

I think with some Chips it will make a tasty snack

D.K.1

Noooo, you can't do that to him!!

He's in a tank on his own ATM, I'll get more fish once he's settled. Just can't have another fighting fish with him

fast bloke

So he is a Japanese not fighting fish at the minute?

You could have a Laydee Fighting Fish and have Fighting Fishy Babies

NotoriousREV

I reckon he could 'ave *Sonic* in a scrap, there's more meat on the fish for a start

Why do they keep these fish in wine glasses in the pet shops? Or is it just mine?

Be very carefull what other fish you put in with him. No Cichlids as they tend to fin nip and dont like other fish at the bottom of the tank. Tiger Barbs and the kind BIG NO they'll have his fins within an hour. Dwarf Gouramis, tetras, platties would be fine as they're easy going fish. Just tell the fish shop that your after some fish to put in with a Fighter and they should sort you out. Rummy Nose Tetras would look good with your fighter as they have a red nose.

Also, you can put in female fighters but it is recomended that you have two per male.....shame I can't say the same about life in general

As said just be careful about other fin nippers, could cause a rucus in the tank and tears will be shed.

Cheers

Female fighters arent as nice though, hardly any fins etc

also it will ruin the life of the male fighting fish forever nagging etc

Tiggs

Its the genus name for this particular group of fish. i.e. 'Betta splendens'.
