Field Notes

Description:

This beta was found in my fish tank in my house :)

Habitat:

Beta Fish are found in Asia in tiny mud puddles; this is why they like to live in small fish tanks without a filter.

Notes:

Beta Fish must live alone in their tank. This is very important! They will rip each others heads off if they are both in the same tank. And no matter how odd this sounds....they do actually need air. Most tanks come with a tiny air hole.
