In the wild, Bettas, or Fighting Fish, live in small muddy pools often linked together by tiny creeks, just like the Betta Fish Arena. Those pools often have vegetation growing in them too, just like the Betta Fish Arena. As Bettas can also breathe air, they need wide shallow open water areas. just like the Betta Fish Arena, it also means that we don’t need an air pump. Betta Fish Arena also has unique scientific CHALLENGES and ACTIVITIES actually built into the design. This gives inquisitive children a ringside view of some of the clever, spectacular, spellbinding and weird behaviors of our favourite creatures.
