Siamese Fighting Fish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Siamese Fighting Fish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 5 gallons
• Compatibility: Highly territorial, especially males. Can be housed alone or with specific, non-aggressive, non-fin-nipping tank mates in larger, well-planted tanks. Females can sometimes be kept in 'sorority' tanks with careful management.
• Special requirements: Requires a filtered and heated tank. Live or frozen foods are preferred, but high-quality betta pellets can be a staple. Needs surface access for air breathing. Avoid strong currents. Provide ample hiding spots and plants (live or silk) to reduce stress and provide enrichment.
