ARTICLE 1

The Siamese fighting fish could be your answer! They’re colorful, bright and swim around a lot of the time. A beautiful Siamese fighting fish can be like a permanent flower in your home. But, you say, “How much will it cost to set up a large complicated fish tank?” No, that’s one of the great things about the Siamese fighting fish. They are fairly hardy fish that don’t need a large space or water flow! A smaller tank with a bit of airflow will be fine for them. The common name is “Betta” of the species “Betta Splendons”. You may find most people will know the fish as the Betta fish. I much prefer the name Siamese fighting fish. If you see the name Betta fish, please remember that they are one and the same.

Fish make great pets! They are quite easy to take care of. They do not make unnecessary sounds like a dog or cat. They do not mess all over and if you have to go away on holiday for a few days, you can get an aquarium with an automatic feeder or slow release feeding blocks to take care of them.

Today, many people live in Condos or townhouse complexes and it is difficult to keep a dog or a cat or any other type of pet. That’s where the Siamese fighting fish comes to the fore. It’s one of the most popular types of fish to be found in homes across the world.

Our little guy is a dark deep purple color and we have named him “Samurai”, after the famous Japanese Samurai warriors. We live in a complex that does not allow other types of pets, so he is very suited to our situation. The grandchildren certainly enjoy coming to see him. He is amazingly friendly and recognizes you and “dances” around when he sees us. He is happy to follow our finger around and play games with us.

When you look at the small cost of the Siamese fighting fish, it’s food and the setup along with the beautiful bright colors, the ease of care and the great interaction, they make the perfect first pet for children as well as adults. A child will love the pretty vibrant colors and can learn responsibility while caring for them.

Owning a pet has been proven to relieve boredom and stress. It also helps to decrease blood pressure and improves your mood and provides a purpose in life. Siamese fighting fish are relatively easy to care for and their low maintenance is particularly appealing to people who would like to have a fish as a pet, but don’t have a lot of time on there hands. Our “Samurai“ is such a pleasure to come home to. The minute you walk in the door and he sees you, it’s like he wants to come up and say “hello you guys, I’ve missed you today”. He has definitely improved our quality of life!

If you are thinking about getting a pet for your home, but cannot have a conventional pet like a dog or cat in your living area then you should definitely think about getting a Siamese fighting fish. In the following articles I will tell you more about the benefits and give you tips and tricks that could help you.
