Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is another term for betta fish?

Answer: Siamese fighting fish

There are many species of betta fish but the best known, and by far the most popular is the Siamese fighting fish. I made up the other names.
2. It is best to keep male betta fish in groups of two or more as they are social creatures.

Answer: False

Male betta fish are best kept alone! They are very territorial and will fight to protect what is theirs. Females, on the other hand, are not usually aggressive, and several may be kept in a tank together as long as there is room.
3. Unlike most fish, betta fish don't need to have a filter or an aerator in the tank.

Answer: True

This is true as long as you change the water regularly. How often you need to change the water depends on how big the tank is. Betta fish have an organ called a labyrinth which allows them to come to the surface of the water and "breathe" air.
4. Betta fish need to be in warmer water than goldfish do. Why?

Answer: They are tropical fish.

Betta fish need to be in water that is a little warmer than some other fish as they come from the tropics. The temperature for bettas should be around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If they get too cold, they will slow down. This is a very common mistake that betta owners make.
5. What do betta fish make their nests out of?

Answer: bubbles

Betta fish make bubble nests. If you see a mass of bubbles floating on the top of the aquarium, it means that your betta is happy and healthy.
6. Betta fish are carnivores.

Answer: True

In the wild, bettas feed on insects and insect larvae.
7. Why do betta fish have upturned mouths?

Answer: for eating

Betta fish are carnivores and their mouths are designed to grab insects that happen to be on or in the water.
8. In the wild, where can betta fish be found?

Answer: in rice paddies

In addition to rice paddies, betta fish are found in puddles and slow-moving streams. Their natural environment is shallow, slow-moving water. They breathe air so they must be able to get to the surface easily.
9. Which betta parent cares for the young?

Answer: the male

The male is the one who builds the nest and takes care of the eggs. As soon as the female lays the eggs, the male takes over, placing them in the nest. He will watch over the eggs for the next 2-3 days, catching and putting them back if they fall out of the nest. Around day 4, the eggs hatch.
10. Betta fish can be black.

Answer: True

Bettas can come in white, orange, red, blue, yellow, turquoise, green, copper, and black. There are many variations on each of these colours.
