Female Veiltail Betta
Also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, Combattant (Canada), Trey kroem phloek (Cambodia), or Cá lia thia (Vietnam).
Bettas are anabantids (Derived from the Greek Verb anabaino, meaning "to go up") which physiologically means they have two methods of breathing. Bettas breathe from their labyrinth organ which enables the fish to breathe from the surface. Bettas also breathe through their gills like other fish.
The Female Veiltail Betta has finnage that is closest to the original form of bettas being short finned. However, genetically, they do carry the dominant gene to have off spring to have the Veiltail attribute. Female Veiltail Bettas are best housed with other female Bettas and other peaceful species in a tank with plants and very little current.
