Wow I didn't know that, interesting.   Do you know anything about the water conditions that they like?
knowledge: This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles.
response: I don't know what water conditions Bettas prefer.  But an interesting fact is that they can thrive in water conditions that are low oxygen, which most other fish would not survive in.
