they come in all sorts of colours including mixed as in half amd half, the more common is red, blue (light and dark) the males are more lavish in colour and the females are usally mixed( this is all my experience....
The Beta Splendens is native to Southeast Asia, thus the name Siamese Fighting Fish.
No idea but I know that they live in fresh water and come from asia!
They come in many colors mostly at random (without going into carefully bred colors) so it isn't a type. Just a white betta with a blue sheen.
pregnancy *Also death and illness. Or stress. And they don't come from China!!
Siamese fighting fish come from the tropical islands of Asia and are nothing special to China. The only connection is in the simple fact that so many people do not know their geography and have Siam, (Which is now Thailand), Indonesia and Malaysia mixed up and call the fish "Chinese fighting fish" in error.
Betta's originally come from Thailand, which used to be known as Siam. Hence the name "Siamese Fighting Fish".
Most pet shops that stock tropical fish will be able to get you a female 'Betta splendens'. (that's its' correct name). I would advise you not to use the name 'Chinese fighting fish' 'Cos they may not know what kind of fish you mean since they do not come from China. If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.
There are no fighting fish that come from Japan. I think you are asking about the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). They do naturally have a round stomach almost like a ball. That is their body shape.
Innately, Siamese fighting fish fight and just need practice with stregnth and agility. You can train them by dangling a blade of grass into the bowl and jurking it away when they come close. make sure you do this in a bowl that is big enough so that you do not force it to bump into the walls and weaken itself.
Black is a color, not a breed. Many cat breeds can be black. Certain cat breeds come in specific colors such as Siamese, and they would not be black if they were purebred but any breed that comes in various colors could be black. Siamese cats are also a tabby variety of solid clors and the tortoise shell. Any Siamese is a tabby, but not all tabby's are Siamese.
NO! I think the name SIAMese gives you a good clue as to their origin. They come from Siam, which is now called Thailand
No they can not. Some people call a Betta splendens a Betta or a Siamese fighter or a Japanese Fighting Fish. They are all refering to the same species of fish. They come in both males and females and both are needed to produce any young.
