Male Siamese Fighting Fish (bettas) are highly territorial. In the wild, if a male betta encountered another betta they may choose to squabble over territory. However, it is more likey that the weaker male would leave to avoid getting him hurt. If the body of water is too small for both males to hold territories (ie. anything less than about 1000 gallons) they will fight, sometimes to the death. This behavior is not difficult to replicate in a small aquarium - add water, add two male bettas, sit back and watch. In some Asian countries, betta fighting is an actual sport, like cock fighting, and people go to watch and bet on it. The Asian fighting bettas are very well cared for, but unfortunately European and American copycats do not care for their bettas as well. Please don't make bettas fight. It's natural behavior and if you do not know exactly what you are doing (ie selecting evenly matched stock, choosing the right fighting strain, removing the fish at the right moment to avoid serious injury and treating them afterwards) do not exploit their instincts for your own entertainment. It is cruel to do so.

Wild Betta splendens are found in small pools, puddles and slow moving water ways of tropical Asia. They do not come from China or Japan.
