Class Pets: What should we call our new fish? : Mr. Rees' Class Blog

Posted by?Mr. Rees?on?Thursday, March 22nd 2012?????

Betta Splendens (Fighting Fish)?are originally from South East Asia. They can be found in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. They are usually found in slow flowing streams, rice fields, large puddles or in mud holes.

The wild bettas look very different and are not like the one we will have in our classroom. They are very plain with only a little colour. After many years of breeding by Thailand farmers and other international breeders they now have some wonderful colours.

For more information about Betta Splendens?click here.

The picture on the right and the video is of the Betta fish we will have in the class. He will be in the classroom next week and will stay in the big tank till next term when the aquarium will be ready for the other fish. I will then move him to another aquarium in the classroom.

Leave a comment with your suggestion and then I will make a poll so we can vote.
