Top quality fish at its price. The Betta, or Siamese fighting fish, is among the most famous of all aquarium fishes. From the original wild specimens that come from south eastern Asia have been bred many shades of long-finned beauties that could vie successfully in colour and grace with many of other butterflies. Some other natives, on the other hand, are bred not for lovely colours, but
for more practical purpose creating males that fight bitterly when placed with another of their own sex.
Ikan cupang termasuk ikan yang terkenal diantara ikan-ikan penghuni akuarium. Dari ikan cupang liar asli yang berasal dari Asia Tenggara, telah dibudidayakan banyak bentuk ikan cupang bersirip panjang, yang dapat bersaing baik dalam warna dan keanggunan dengan ikan-ikan bersirip panjang lainnya. Beberapa ikan cupang alam yang lain, dibudidayakan bukan untuk warna yang cantik, tetapi untuk tujuan yang lebih praktis, manciptakan ikan cupang jantan yang bertarung mati-matian ketika ditempatkan bersama ikan cupang jantan lainnya.
About Betta Fighters (by Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod)
The Betta, or Siamese fighting fish, is among the most famous of all aquarium fishes. From the original wild specimens that come from south eastern Asia have been bred many shades of long-finned beauties that could vie successfully in colour and grace with many of other butterflies. Some other natives, on the other hand, are bred not for lovely colours, but for more practical purpose creating males that fight bitterly when placed with another of their own sex.
The Betta belongs to Anabantid group, which has in common the possession of an auxiliary breathing organ known as a labyrinth. With the aid of this they come to the surface every few minutes for a gulp of atmospheric air from which they extract the oxygen into the blood stream. This renders the oxygen content of the water in which they are kept relatively unimportant and makes it possible to raise many fish in individual small jars.
